Thanks for your comment on my blog. I just...Hi Jim. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I just read all your posts and it sounds like you've been having a hard old time - hang in there! I got to 35 before my Tx, so you at 40 are doing really well. Also like you my health fell off a bit of a cliff over 1.5 years with a series of infections, a bad bout of Norovirus and resistance to all the antibiotics building up. I never did quite end up on the Oxygen 24/7 - I think the Tx came just in time to stave that off - I was using it for any kind of walking though. I managed to work 4 days/week up to the Tx but it was hard going - luckily an office based job (in product design and engineering), although there should have been travel but recently I'd had to say no. I'd been over to the States a few times with work. CF is a bugger of a disease, especially when you've been used to a life of achievement, meeting your goals and doing really well. Having gone through the first 10 weeks post Tx I'm starting to believe I can regain all of that stuff - it really is pretty amazing, not without its downsides of course, but amazing. Good luck with the assessment - my first three blogs detailed my experience of assessment so you might want to look back and read those. <br />Cheers for now, WillWill Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508088975549500412noreply@blogger.com
