Oh Barbara, so happy to see you. You look beautiful and refreshed and just lovely. I am so happy, words cannot express how good you look.so glad you bought a house. I bet your hubby is loving everything. You are just beaming with joy. Don't want to keep you long as you have a lot of living to do. Be sure and show us your Christmas Tree. I can hardly wait. I love the trees and lights. I had 3 cats and they just loved the lights and decorations. Not one knocked anything down or tore the tree up. They were my little people. I loved them so much. So here goes I'm waiting to see your tree. Don't disappoint me.. Stay safe. °•♡•° °☆••☆••☆••☆••☆••☆••☆•°

It’s so nice to see you and to know you are doing well. Enjoy life to the fullest and continue to stay graceful! 🙏🏻

I have referred your video to others in rehab who are considering a lung transplant. I brag about how amazing you are doing and honest that you were somewhat hesitant at first.

Omgosh so good to see you. You look fabulous. My twin got her zephyr valves in Sept and she's doing well. She was to fev1 of 22. I'm at 36. I am trying to qualify but I may have a heart issue that would disqualify me because the only lobe they can do is my left lower lobe. I have CV along the fissures of all my right lobes. I go for a nuclear medicine scan of my lungs in November and that will tell if I qualify. And unlike you I have such a hard time getting motivated for exercise. I trying to get better because that is also a disqualification, deconditioning. I am looking forward to your holiday decorations. 😊🤗🍂🍁🎃

I'm so happy your twin is doing well, and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you and your scan ... you just never know. I'm also so happy that it seems like I might start having time to do short vids again AND that I was able to load it!!! You just may see me again before the holidays even 😃

[@BarbraMyPHCOPDLife]

Greg good luck with everything! Yes it is a very long process, but hang in there and just knock each thing out one at a time just like checking off a list. Please keep me posted on the progress!

[@cecillelazaro5636]

I finally received my DLT last March 22,2022 🙏

[@BarbraMyPHCOPDLife]

WOOOHOOO! Congratulations!!! I hope all is going well for you!!!

[@cecillelazaro5636]

I’ve had a few bumps but I’m not complaining. I’m just so grateful 🙏

[@BarbraMyPHCOPDLife]

@@cecillelazaro5636 I found that my issues were really just moments in time as they got things figured out for my body ... it takes time to adjust - give it that time. It is a huge surgery.

[@amypeterson8615]

Funny I was just thinking of you and how you were doing. I have lived in the same house in the country rural on acreage for 17 yrs just like you! I’ve gathered a lot of stuff. I need to move where there is little yard work. It’s too much for me. It’s my hubby who has very severe lung disease due to alpha one antitrypsin. He can’t help. I’m going to just hire a moving company. Hubby has PH and it’s effected his heart. I was wondering if your heart recovered from the strain your lungs placed on it. Do you still have PH??

[@BarbraMyPHCOPDLife]

Amy yes ... the yard work can be a lot with the big yards. And yes my heart did return to normal after the transplant. I have dealt with no heart issues since transplant. I do take a very small dose of something to slow my heart rate a little, but it is no where near what it used to be.
