Well, as my sister posted, I had a second surgery, it was super painful when I woke up, and I ended up in the recovery room for a while for them to chase the pain to get on top of it. Luckily now it is controlled with vidicon, followed by miralax. It is still pretty pain ful because I have 2 chest tubes draining the rest of the fluid on the left hand side. I have had a total of 8 chest tubes guys...I think I am going for some kind of record. Let's hope that 8 is great and we stop here. They did find a littl psuedomnas in the fluid in the plural space and therefore i gotta start A cf regimine which I've to get that completely under control, so here I sit dense-ing to merrepenum. Fun fun. I have napped and eaten and now blogged, so it wasn't that bad of a time. Just getting through
Here is the other crazy thing... After surgery my left arm was killing me and was swollen, so we decided it wouldn't hurt to do an ultrasound, well they didnt find a clot on the left, but they did find one on the right hand side, which is contributing to my swelling, and now they are running me on heprin all the time, and I will have to be on blood thinners for a while. It turned out to be a fluke that we found it, and I am greatful. Because I have so many catheters it isn't strange for this to happen, and now that I am under treatment they are not worried. Now I have my port accessed too... Lots going all at once.
Other news, I didn't need dialysis again today, meaning my kidneys are continuing to hold steady. They are leaning in the right direction, there is s possibility that my Xmas gift could be to go home without needing dialysis anymore, so if you got it in you please ask for this Xmas miracle. It would make me soooooo happy. I never bargained for the kidney part of this and it is tough. I don't want to complain because I am so thankful to be alive, and thankful to my donor, but I am so ready to recover and start living with these lungs. I can't wait to get out there!!
Hopefully tonight I will be able to walk more again, to keep my legs a movin.

I have been so blessed to know such great friends, especially my transplant friends during this time. I was visited by nahara, ISA, and Stephanie ( steve's wife) yester day, the day before by Ana, and today by Patrick and Lisa. I also got s card from Lara, and all the support about how it gets better puts everything in perspective to me. It helps me remember there is a big light st the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to get out there with all of them. Maybe even go on the hike at retreat next year? How dare I..... Hehehe.
That is my post for now. I am getting good at typing with an oximeter on my finger. Oh yea, just looked at the monintor, I am 100% on room air thank you very much :) I can't believe it. I can breathe.
