Last night CysticGal called me for a few moments at 10:31. She sounded super. She says it hurts when she coughs, and CysticDad is running around trying to find her a super great hard pillow like I had. You hug it to you when you cough, and well, it makes you feel a bit better. Lots of coughing happens after transplant because lungs get irritated after you say, take them out of a human and put them in another human. They make a lot of mucus as a defense mechanism, but it is not CF mucus, rather, normal people mucus, it is just that there is a lot of it.
And now for a surprise! CysticGal text me this self-portrait, and told me to post it on the blog! CysticGal, July 29, 11:16 PM. That's about 42 hours after she got out of surgery!
The daily ponderings of Beth Peters as she writes about Cystic Fibrosis and lung trasnplant.
