Hello friends,
Today I have had a little more energy which is greatly appreciated. It seems like I have been in a funk for weeks now, so unmotivated and tired. It has been very discouraging and disheartening. I have been reflecting on what I thought post-transplant would be and it is so much different. I guess, like many of you, I thought once I recovered from surgery I would become healthy and "normal" again. Though I am breathing (hooray!) I am still struggling and that adds to the overall discouragement. Please don't think I am not grateful for all I have and the miracle I have received, I am just not being patient enough with my expectations of how I should be feeling.
I had told you I was working on my third book, but the last month or so, I just haven't had the umph to work on it. I think it is important for me to write, however, because no one warned me about what things would be like after the transplant. The fear, the anxiety, the tiredness, but also the mixture of extreme joy and thankfulness. I hope my new book can help other transplant patients to better prepare for life after transplant, but also to help people who have not had a transplant appreciate the lives they have been given.
Please pray for a renewal of my inspiration to write and also for energy, I desperately need some.
Thank you all for continuing on this journey with me. I can't wait for the day when all I have to report is wonderful news! All my love, Nancy

i think it is more than important to tell the transplant recipient about what will or might follow the surgery itself. you are by nature, like me, an antsy person who is not content with sitting and waiting, and wants to "get going" but you have already come so far in a short time. You know I think that the writing is helpful, even if it is only a few lines a day. It works for me and am hoping it does the same for you. Here for whatever you need!
Much love,
Claire and the gang
