    Beth Beth Beth Beth Thank you for posting! Yay for transplant list! I am saying many prayers for you in my yoga classes and elsewhere and thinking of you often and how you earnestly told me that you have chipmunk cheeks and wondering and hoping - not about the cheeks, more about the lungs.

    So glad you have excellent family and Tricia and many peoples around you. I noticed last night how frequestly they feature transplant plots on television. Hmmm. Maybe this will all be really good material for your book which will be picked up as a film and you could sit in a really tall chair and boss everybody around and tell them how to make the proper noises and faces. I would like Ellen Page to play you but she has to dye and cut her hair. Also, Frances MacDormand needs to be someone in the movie.

    Love xxxoooEmily

Let me thank you for the nice comments on my first guest blog on Cystic Gal.  I am also grateful to be able to have a forum to share these experiences. As such, I thought I'd write a follow-up.  There is another side to this story.  I will attempt to tell my version of it without using too many cliche's, but it may be hard because love is the most written and talked about topic in the history of the world. Love is a wonderful part of life.  I think I can go so far as to say, it is the reason for life.  It is indeed a real shame to go through such lengths as a lung transplant to continue living, to then deny yourself the chance for love.  The same way that I weighed the risks vs. rewards of a lung transplant, is the way that I have to weigh the risks vs. rewards of love. I have said before that I'd do everything again, the whole year of dying, the surgery, the recovery, for just one of those days after transplant that I didn't have to think about breathing.  Not

Hello CGers!!! It's me. Boldly, bravely, I let my Dad bring me my laptop for tonight. I have been enjoying a computer hiadus, but wanted a little time to write to you y'all and doodle on internet. Who knew I could go a whole month without my laptop? WHO KNEW!? Well, I've been busy. And tomorrrow is already my transplantiversary!! ( one month). My surgery started on July 27th and ended on July 28th! I know there is a lot to explain about all that has happened but I'm not gonna handle all that tonight. Just recent news and such. So, it looks like I hope to get out of the hospital next week if we can finally figure out everything with my lymphatic system. I started eating this week, and long and short, it agravated my lymphatic system a bit, again. (Not at all like before, but still, there was fluid retention and other random details.). So, 4 more day of IV nutrition and clear liquids for me, and then we'll try, I don't know, eating again. The IV nutrition keeps m
