Thank you so so much, for the really lovely messages you all have written for me.
They mean a lot to me
Today i'm exausted(sp?) hehe, yesterday was busy. With my anniversary as well as my dad's 50th birthday! So the house was very busy all day, i have to say i fled upstairs for a few minutes a few times during the day
Ofcourse my dad got the greatest birthday gift every last year, when i got my call.
Heather, after transplant i don't need physio for my lungs anymore. I do go to physio 3 days a week but that is to get more stamina. I do have a puffer, but that is not standard after tx. Some people still get them. I just started on Serevent (the long working form of Ventolin) because i was diagnosed with Emphysema. The lungs i have now are much much better then the ones i had, but it could be much better then i have now. I had to turn a switch when i heard the news.
But i'm only very very gratefull that i'm still here, that i can live my life.
If it wasn't for these 2 lungs i most likely wouldn't be here... as i couldn't wait much longer anymore and we have a huge shortage on donors. I had to wait 9 months on the number one spot for my bloodtype and height for this first match. I couldn't wait another 9 months or probably even half of it, till the new year.
My lungs are clear now, i only have junk in my upperairways some days, but that's from my sinusses.
Thank you all again for the lovely messages! I am glad that i found this site and joined after reading for a while, i think that was just before i went back on the active list for my tx.
Love and a big hug, Marjolein
