Life hands you Lemon's make Wild Jumbleberry Juice: My transplant
http://icecreammaplesyrup.blogspot.com/p/my-transplant.html
I waited 6 weeks in total for my new lungs, mostly all in hospital gasping and drowning for breath. On July 5th, 2010, after the long weekend, I woke up to a nurse coming in to my room to wake me up, my new lungs were here. Someone had been brave enough to sign their donor card and tell their family their wishes.they gave me life again. My donor saved my life and I have no idea who they even are. By six months I was walking pretty normally again, and by 7 months I was even beginning to run a little.

http://laby-lol.blogspot.com/2012/11/1-year-ago.html
Subscribe to RSS Feed. It's hard to believe that it has already been one year since I received the call for lungs. Last year at 1:13 am I woke up to the faintest 'beep' of my voicemail, quickly called back Toronto General and was soon well on my way to a new life. Since Nov. 23, 2011 I have. Walked around at CN Tower for my 6 month celebration. Gone zip lining. twice! Gone Hot Air Ballooning. twice. Traveled to California and surrounding states ALONE and met amazing people along the way. Be someone's hap...

A journey with my new lungs!: December 2009
http://shannysnewlungs.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A journey with my new lungs! Monday, December 28, 2009. Not sure what I want to write about today, I haven't posted in awhile due to the lack of stimulating life I lead at this time, but I did think of something clever to write last night while sleeping but now due to Oxygen brain i forgot! Should I delve deep into my psyche (is that how you spell that? Good teacher am I) and bring up all the things I really want to say or should I sugar coat it and say, all is fine, life is good, I feel okay? On a diffe...

Lungs out Loud: The Last Hurrah
http://laby-lol.blogspot.com/2012/03/last-hurrah.html
Subscribe to RSS Feed. In the exercise room. End of scene, completo, fin. Can you believe it? After 10 months, I am no longer required to go to the hospital three times a week. I am now only required to return every two measly weeks for bloodwork (to measure my medication levels) and PFTs (to measure my lung function), which is the longest vacation I've had from a hospital in over a year! Bad, but man was I hungry. This isn't new news, but I am not. I got my hair done today (discovered I lost a lot of ha...

http://shannysnewlungs.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-truly-amazing.html
A journey with my new lungs! Sunday, January 31, 2010. I can't tell you enough how amazing this feels to be able to walk around my home, hang out, help my daughter with every day things, cook without the assistance of oxygen or my PH medication. I went out today (stayed in the car) but the only thing I brought was me! No oxygen, bags, medications, me myself and I, and a pillow to protect me in the car. So cool right? January 31, 2010. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions tho? January 31, 2010. I am s...

A journey with my new lungs! Thursday, November 26, 2009. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Tuesday November 24, 2009. Not much to say today. Lazy day, feeling a bit sluggish this morning so stayed in for the day. I took a nap too which usually I try to avoid as sometimes it makes me feel worse. My parents came over today which was great, they made dinner, cookies, kept Charley and I busy. So Greg said he wanted me to write about him in my Blog, here you go honey! STOP THE WRESTLING AND PLAY SOMETHING ELSE:(.

http://shannysnewlungs.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A journey with my new lungs! Thursday, March 4, 2010. Time flys when you have new lungs. I can't believe how much time flys. Days are filled with appointments, working out, pokes and proding. However, all is good and results have been positive. I am in clinic every 2 weeks now but I still work out 3 times a week in Toronto. I have my 6 week bronch on Tuesday which is always a tx persons dream. Not! But it must be done so fingers crossed. Oh yeah and we sold our house in 2 days! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
