The Original Honey!!!
Hi everyone,
I'm now back in the land of the free after being couped up in hospital for 6 weeks.
The transplant went really well and the lungs have been excellent.
Had a couple of bumps in the recovery process (went into liver and kidney failure and lost the ability to walk as I was bedbound for 4 weeks) but all is well know (well having to walk with a stick and have a few issues with stairs but that will all come back in time....lol)
On the weight loss front I managed to reach target and lost 1 stone so 2 silver linings along with the bumps lol
The scary bit was when I went into kidney failure and the docs tried to flush them. I managed to gain 5 stone of fluid in 4 days!!!!! Aaaarrrggghhhhhhh!!!! lol
Luckily, they attached me to a machine that basically filtered out all the nasties and 6 days later I was 5 1/2 stone lighter. Yippee, and extra 1/2 stone bonus...lol
Now i'm on a high calorie, high protien diet to feed my wasted muscles and to help heal from the op. Still got to keep an eye on my weight though as I don't want to gain lots, would like to stay where I am now at 9st 7lb.
So I guess i'm at TARGET!!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely get well messages especially Sue - fillymum, hope you're doing well hun.
Well will stop waffling
Thanks again
