This is the first time I've been able to come on here. I want to thank you all so very much for your kind words about Anna' aka CountryGirl.
I want to let anyone know who is considering a transplant that Anna' always said, this journey was worth it. After her first transplant when she had a really horrible night with pain control, she wondered if she'd made a mistake. A couple of days later she said, it was the right choice. After getting diagnosed with chronic rejection, she said, knowing everything she knew about transplant and even if she only got a couple of extra years, she'd do it all over again. It was worth the risk. Each time she had the mindset that she'd be that patient to break records.
So I say to each of you, set your mind to being that patient that's going to break the records. Stay as active as you possibly can and build your leg strength. And after transplant do as many of those things that you always wanted to do as you can. Remember you got those new lungs to LIVE!
