So... I've got some news! The reason I've been quiet recently. #organdonation#DoubleLungTransplant I am extremely lucky & will always be thankful to my donor. For their act of pure kindness during their darkest hour! I've shared some of my journey below. @CFAware@cftrust
In 6 mnths I’ve gone from sleeping everyday to exercising. I’ve gone from missing out to being there. I’ve gone from feeling hopeless to feeling hopeful! Thx to all the RIE Liver Transplant Team, my family, friends & of course my Donor and their amazing family🙏🏻 #livertransplant
Today I got news that my Donor family have written back to me. Nothing prepares us for this and feels like the day I got the call. The emotions are like nothing I’ve experienced and I need to be ready to read this #organdonation@NHSOrganDonor@BasingstokePmi@OxTxResearch
