Special Edition: My Lung Transplant Journey, February 27, 2014 - The Waiting List Post 4-6

Hello all, I'm a bit behind in updating my posts for The Waiting List storytelling project. My apologies. My mind works much faster than my body. So here are a few posts from the last couple of days. Enjoy!

Post 4, Weary

During the past few months, it's been getting harder for me to do things around the house. I get tired easily, and I always need to stop for a little break by resting my head. It's frustrating!

Post 5, Hopefully Devoted

Nearly every night before bed, my husband will rub my back because it's sore or itchy. I often sleep downstairs in a twin bed because it's much easier than climbing the stairs up to our bedroom, and sometimes my coughing keeps both of us awake. For now, It's better for us to sleep well than to be together, but I miss him. I think he misses me too.

Post 6, Tough Cookies

Despite living day to day with a mom who is seriously ill, they are smart, athletic, funny, creative, musical, and all-around good kids. Recently, we prepared a special homemade pizza together for their dad's birthday. They help me with many things around the house, and for that I am grateful. They are resilient.
