About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:

I have Cystic Fibrosis and I am now 35. I was put on the transplant list in 2005. I waited 2 years for a double lung transplant and in that time received 6 false calls. By then my health had deteriorated and the doctors did not expect me to live through the night. I was on a ventilator in hospital. My 7th call came on the 27th April 07. Luckily it went ahead. I had a tough 6 weeks in Intensive Care and another 2 weeks on the ward. It took me around 12 months in total to fully recover. Life now though is brilliant, I am so lucky and can do so many things that I could not do before. I was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for 2 years. I now play badminton , have joint a gym and have even been abroad on holiday.
