TODAY 29th August was my 8yr Transplant Anniversary for my current set of donor lungs. The surgery for this Transplant was the most grueling, traumatic event in my life by far.I almost did not survive this surgery.
Today I woke up, & had totally forgot that it was my Transplant Anniversary 🤣 Because, I had a big long list of Wifey Housework Duties, some gardening & some work to do for my job. At least we can say I celebrated & honoured my Donor by doing exactly the thing these lungs were meant for - living your life!
Karl reminded me of the occasion this morning with a "Happy Anniversary" text, that he sent while he was busy at work 💙
Very blessed to have had an extra 8 years and to be living this life with Karl, and my two beautiful kitties. Here's a very recent photo (taken 10mins ago in our PJ's), of our tired, old faces after a long week (haha)! Karl also wrote a lovely message today on our Facebook account for my anniversary, I thought I'd share:
