I won’t start from the beginning, what I will do though is start from the moment I landed back in Adelaide. Early March ( back to a heatwave) I began my journey as a post double lung transplantee. With two new lungs and the rest of my life to look forward too. It has been amazing to get back and discover this vast new world. I mean just getting out of bed was a big enough stretch. Now it isn’t. Am still recovering, and sorting out appointments and all that Jazz , but I now have the energy to do it all.

I have grown fond of dawdling. Obviously I am not wanting to keep people waiting in shopping queues, or frustrating the shop assistance. It’s more about Time Gratitude. Haven’t had that for a while. Usually i know what i need at the shops, hang onto the shopping trolley and go to the three isles that sell what i need at that time. Get to the checkouts bearly hanging onto the trolley, still manage to get money out pay then get to a bench outside the shops and wait there till I recover. Now I can check out more Isles and see what else can be bought. This entire world has opened up and am quite glad about it .

There is a lot of responsibility that comes with this new life. Medications HAVE to be taken. I mean it’s not like Vitamin tablets, or Fish oil …Having CF I have always needed to take medications anyway. The new ones I take are very beneficial not without some hazards, but needed nonetheless. Exercise is required as well. I really don’t mind actually I used to dance so to feel like your entire body is aching after exercise It takes me back heehee. I will obviously put in a bit more description throughout this site with the Yes and Nos’ of post op.

One more thing before i get the site up and away . I want to thank the hospital staff that helped me to get to where I am now. Also Family and Friends that have been great support to me for those three months, and their continuous support.
