Life changed today, and therefore my blog does too!

Today the culmination of all the work finally came together. I am OFFICIALLY LISTED FOR A DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT. I received my Lung Allocation Score (LAS) and it is 37.7074. That is a numeric status symbol. My placement on the transplant list is dictated by the number, the size of my lungs, and my blood type. It means i am in the "transplant window" and poised to have a call at any time, which will change my life forever! Oh yea, and I am number 13 on the list! LUCKY 13. I can't believe it. It has always been my lucky number and it is true again today!




Today Emily paid me a visit and presented me with a beautiful gift. A small string bracelet, in which to wish upon for new beginnings, the symbol of re-birth. No longer than a hour after she put it on my wrist, she had to leave for her baby sitting job, and as she left, i walked to the kitchen to start cleaning up, and the phone rang. This is a magical bracelet and will be with me the entirety of my transplant journey. It is supposed to fall off when my wish comes true... so i suspect that it will come off when my surgery takes place ;)

And finally, the title of my blog is changing from Anna Banana's Variety Show, to My life on the T-List. As this chronicles my journey, i figured what is better than a tribute to my pop culture and a take off of the show my Life on the D-list. It is a tribute to the silliness of celebrity. I hope you enjoy reading about my journey and my Life on the T-LIST!
