Happy Week

It's been a good week for me. I will be finished with iv meds as of tonight, woo hoo! I've still got the wound vac on, but I hope to get rid of it Monday when I see the doc again. It is almost healed. Also, when I have my bronch on the 26th if it comes back clear, the doc will take out my hickman (the line in my chest to take iv meds). I'm getting closer to going home. I'm trying not to get too excited because it seems like something always happens. I'm just keeping my faith and looking forward to getting back home! I can't think about what "might" happen. I'm still taking it one day at a time and letting The Lord guide me. :)

I've met some more new people here for their evaluation for lungs. I think back to when I was in their shoes and how far I have come in just 3 months. I think about my donor and their family everyday. It was such a selfless act to give someone else a chance at life. I hope to find out about my donor someday. I have yet to write a letter to the family, but I will. I may never hear from them, but I want them to know how much I appreciate what they did. I feel I wouldn't be here today had I not gotten a lung transplant. I Thank God for His Love and Miracles! God Is Great!

Donate To My Lungs Fund

I'm not one to ask for charity. I've always tried to be independent, but sometimes a person just needs to get over it and realize it is okay to ask for help. I am currently waiting for my call to get my life back, which is, I'm waiting for my call for new lungs, in case you've just tuned into reading my blog. I decided to add a donate button to my page to help with travel/lodging expenses, etc. so any help will be truly appreciated. Some people may not realize how expensive a transplant truly turns out to be. It isn't just about the days leading up to the transplant or even the weeks afterward. It is a life changing surgery that will entail expensive anti-rejection drugs and numerous doctor visits for the rest of my life. I have good insurance, but even insurance doesn't cover everything. I am ready for this commitment. I just don't know if my wallet is, lol. Please do not feel obligated to help if you feel you cannot. The economy is tough for a lot of people now days and I wish my health could wait till things looked up, but sadly life doesn't work that way. God Bless You and Have A Wonderful Day!
