How to get a lung transplant!

August 13, 2004 12:42 PM from

I have decided to start a blog on the mis-adventures of my quest for a second lung transplant. I am 30 years old, and I have Cystic Fibrosis, and I recieved a lung transplant 10 years ago. Now I am currently in the process of getting listed for a second transplant at Duke, in North Carolina. I am from Oregon.
The whole transplant process is very stressful, but so is being chronically ill. I am hoping that by starting this blog I can educate people about CF, as well as organ transplantation. There are times in this process that make me want to cry, and then there are times that are so outrageous that you just have to laugh.
It should be an adventure!

welcome

This is a really good idea. It will be so good to learn about the process and to get the information from Michelle is an incredible bonus. She is one of the most insightful, intelligent people I have ever known.
