The type that is only going to ease daily as you mend and learn how to use those new lungs.

I was just thinking about you - I've just finished the very excellent novel 'The Fault in our Stars' by John Green. The main character has a BiPap machine at night, and an oxygen trolley during the day. Her oxygen is a constant reference point in the book, so I did keep thinking of you as I was reading it! (though her reason for needing oxygen is totally different from yours).<br /><br />You have so much happening right now - I'd need an excel spreadsheet too!. Here's to singing loud to INXS, and talking a LOT. And to the magical clinking of spokie dokies as you ride your bike around after rehab. How very awesome. take care, Catherinecat and vee xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740352837418442644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191744632248916582.post-74102132953116311042013-03-24T20:47:55.235+11:002013-03-24T20:47:55.235+11:00FIrstly thanks Cam for sharing more details about ...FIrstly thanks Cam for sharing more details about the transplant itself, and the process of recovering from here.<br />And secondly, i'm so so happy for you I can't wipe the smile off my face and the tears of happiness from my eyes.<br />I can't wait to see you on that bike ! xoteddybearswednesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068878478604992309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191744632248916582.post-13205136072414216672013-03-24T14:32:27.828+11:002013-03-24T14:32:27.828+11:00Wow Cam.

What you are recovering from is nothing short of miraculous and to hear you are already getting out and about and not needing the oxygen is simply stunning! I'm so so so very pleased for you and hope the rest of your recovery continues to bring you new frontiers that you can cross and put behind you and you can see that milestone and enjoy your progress.
