So sorry that I haven’t been writing more. I hope to get back on the horse, soon. Here is an informative video about my first post-tx trip to clinic, which was today!
It's so nice to see you out of the hospital and back online in your new video. NO oxygen tube! How great is that. It sounds like you're really taking your recovery seriously. I am so very happy for you. All the best, as always.
So nice to actually see how well you are doing. Thanks to your colleague Tina plus your web site we have been able to see your progress. You are such a courageous, talented young lady! Bravo Mary Beth!
What a nice surprise!!! I love the video update and you look so great. Remember...just take it one day at a time....baby steps. You have come such a long way and you just look so positive and overall upbeat about your progress:-) Hugs to you and your family.
So, so glad to hear you are doing well. I've been thinking about you and was worried that I haven't seen any of your Facebook posts lately. Loving the updates! This blog is a great idea. ~Leslie :)
Wahoo! That was a super update - I was away for a coupla days so a bit behind but it is super to see you breathing breathing breathing over and over without a tube. How skillful of you!
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
