Happy one week anniversary to me!
Seriously, I think it finally hit me today: I am on the "other side." I am no longer waiting, just healing. No longer wondering, just watching in awe. How amazingly blessed and lucky am I?
I still have trouble with typing long posts, so please bear with my couple of short ones per day -- trust me when I say it's for your own good not to hear my rambling!
Today I am just grateful for time with my wonderful family and godmother, texts and messages from friends, and little blessings like the promise of Sammy at home. Oh, yeah, and I've been on ROOM AIR most of the day! I even had some coke to celebrate (so crazy, I know - call me a rebel) and of course took in some nice long naps.
Happy anniversary, lungs! I am grateful beyond expression!

About Me
- Piper
- I am a 33-year-old wife, sister, daughter, friend, law school graduate, CFer, lifelong student of public service, blog writer, patient, Sagittarius, reader, Top chef fan, double-lung transplant recipient (twice!), and dog owner living in Colorado's beautiful Mile High City. I love all things colorful, funny, inspiring, or needlessly sarcastic. I share my city with about 2,500,000 other remarkable people, share my disease with 70,000 other beautiful souls, share my life with some unbelievable family and friends, and share my apartment with one very handsome guy and one really fat mutt with a kick-butt personality. We make it work.
About This Blog:
This blog is about me, my life, my sometimes craziness, my disease, and my current journey as a double-lung transplant recipient. It's also a celebration of everyone out there with CF (and other chronic illnesses). It's for you, inspired by you, and dedicated to you -- the community that keeps me writing, living, and breathing.
