WORTH WATCHING! My CF Cepacia Lung Transplant. I shouldn't be alive to tell my story...but miracles happen! We sold our home and everything we could and flew 2000 miles across the country to my only hope for life! Visit my blog at : www.jamiebug.blogspot.com
WOW....your video is an inspiration! It serves as a reminder that miracles DO happen, and that we should never take for granted what the good Lord has provided for us. I hope you are well, and continue to do well for decades to come! :)

@buggerjlewis Thanks a lot, I haven't had as many complications fortunately, but can only run in 1 minute stints at the moment and was curious. Wish me luck!

I lost ALL of my muscle mass post transplant. I was bedridden for MONTHS! SO, I had to rebuild. Post transplant I was skin and bones and weighed under 70 lbs. It has taken me a few years to get good muscle mass & feel ready to tackle a 5K. but once I set the goal I trained seriously for about 2-3 months. There is a great free program called 'couch to 5K' check it out it will help build up endurance/strength at a good pace. Best of Luck!!! You can do it :)

@buggerjlewis I got my lungs on June 30, FEV1 were at about 18% and are now around 71%, thanks for checking up, I just got cleared to move back home this week. Hoping to start training for a 5k, if my body can handle it.
