We all have a lot to be thankful for. ggAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-28540012785441356582010-11-14T22:04:03.063-05:002010-11-14T22:04:03.063-05:00You're amazing Piper.

The fact that the new problems are unknown is what bothers control freaks like me (and dare I say you ). Most of my anxiety in the begining was around this, but it gets easier and easier every month. Now I may sing a different tune after my bronch next Friday and the surprise CMV test they want me to take this week since my white cells are low and I have been getting tired. I countered with I'm blowing my best numbers since transplant at 4.08L, so hopefully its nothing but too muh meds.<br /><br />Keep up all the good work and enjoying the new windbags we have. I always remind myself had I not chose transplant I may not even be alive now. My last 5 months have been a gift that I owe the donor for and I am making the best of it as you are.James Fahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454790754783331298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-30186212090916438622010-11-11T15:53:39.177-05:002010-11-11T15:53:39.177-05:00You said a mouthful there, my dear.

Your ability to speak openly about the ups and downs of transplant is great to read. <br /><br />Pre or post-TX, it seems that there will always been another obstacle. Why? I dunno. Are we gluttons for punishment? I dunno. I'd like to think that(insert religious/non-religious belief system here) hand picked us because we seemed tough enough to deal with this life we lead. Or I could be talking out of my puppet. ;-)<br /><br />I see grand things for your future, Piper. Like many of the strong CF women I've connected with over the past year, you remind me of my sister. Your passion to succeed, your ability to rise to the occasion with poise along with wit and humor, and your compassion for others has gotten you and will continue to get you very far in this crazy, mixed up world. Thank goodness for amazing women like you. Angie is proud.<br /><br />Much love and respect to you, my distant friend. You've earned every ounce of both.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547108849214574148noreply@blogger.com
