Wow, it's almost 6 months since my gift of new lungs. I'm feeling very good! Had my lung biopsy last Thursday and they called with some results on Friday. No rejection and no infection. They were very pleased with my lung function, it's 80% of predicted. The fungus results won't be known until some time this week. They take a culture and add saline to it and see if it grows, that usually takes 3 days. So, we'll see.
I'm trying to do as much as I can everyday and I definitely see an increase in stamina and muscle. Trying to exercise everyday. Doing something, swimming, walking or working out with the medicine ball indoors. Exercise is good for everything, weight control, muscle building and lung function.
I had an interesting person donate via the website for medical expenses. I did a little research to try and find out who this person was. I didn't know them. It appears to be an 8th grade teacher in Michigan who has a disease himself, not a Pulmonary disease, a disease that causes severe tremors. Wow, what a kind person to randomly end up at my blog and then to make a donation. See, there are good people out there.
I hope everyone is having a great summer. I know I am. I am able to breathe freely!
Love to all.
