One year ago today, well yesterday our time now as it's past 12 and i'm just in bed after a busy day 
, i got my call. Saying they possibly had new lungs for me!
It was 4.45 in the morning. The ambulance came to pick me up and we were at the hospital by 7.30. I went into theatre at 13.00 and was back in icu and fully installed by 22.00. It all went very well and my recovery went fine.
It has been an amazing year. Thinking of what i can do now, all the things i couldn't do before. Riding my bike, exercise or even walk across the room the last few months before my tx.
I can do that now! I did have some bad luck with not getting the best lungs... The past 2 months i really have the feeling and the proof with exercise that i am building something up, and that feels so good!
But thinking of the progress i've made from just a year ago, it's a miracle, really it is. This was the first year, of hopefully many, many more.
It has just been 6 months ago that Marie had her transplant. I hope, with all my heart and more, that she can have this feeling. That she can experience this. It's amazing!
Today, one year ago, I got the greatest gift. A new lease on life.
Today, my new lungs and i are ONE!
