Pulmonary Rehab complete!

I graduated from pulmonary rehab last Thursday! WAHOOOO!
I can't say I will miss it, I always felt a little self conscious in there.  Like  everyone was wondering, "why is she here, what's wrong with her."  Now that may be my imagination but my suspicions became a reality when I was waiting for class to begin and 2 older ladies innocently asked why I was in rehab.  Well I must have needed to cry as the tears quickly came trying to explain I needed new lungs due to a rare disease.  Soon other class members were coming in and I could tell the ladies felt bad and immediately said they would be praying for me.


I don't mind telling my story but it still hurts knowing I'm not the same person I was and having to accept my new reality. This is my new lot in life. Keep moving forward, some days are easier than others.

  2. As your journey through this becomes more difficult ours is just beginning. I remember the first night I read your blog and thought to myself that although Bry has the same disease (Bronchiolitis Obliterans) I had hoped that maybe we would not follow the same path. Your accomplishments are well documented over here and Bryan has seen them and tries to keep the same attitude. Thank you for keeping him positive and goal oriented. We too are looking forward to graduating from rehab even though he just started you give us strength. God bless you.
