Helloo!! Well, I no I feel like i abandoned you guys , its feels like i been away from here alot longer then the actual time 22 days LMAO ..

well im passing by toda to say hello and newbies pay attention here these people no there stuff this is the place that helped me the most to stay true to myself and my quit & if you wana stay true also then don run from it hide behind it just fac it and go with the flow and always protect your quit and your lungs 🙂 you cant see sick lungs !! Im stage 4 copd with end stages emphysema who had no choice to have a lung transplant in order to live. it wasnt till i was transplanted and able to breathe that I really relized then how sick i reli was .theres a big difference bettween then and now. I recived the gift of life on june 28th 2012.:) 11 wks ago & life is good .

today iam in rejecion I have a lung infection that wont stop growing iam on i/v meds and 28 more pills per day but Im alive and breathing!! & all this for smoking thinkin na,, not me , its always everyone eles not me ,but it was me . so i made it threw the transplant 6 hrs on the table, 12 days in hosp doin good but have a life time to go.. what many people cant comprehend is, i made it thre surgery im all good ,what they dont no or relize maybe dont wana see it as it is i dont no but it is what it is, this is life after transplant ,being very careful everyday of ur life ,you can go from one extream to another just like that, your little cold can be my big pnemonia that will kill me , as for flu season if u get a live virus flu shot threw your nose that will kill me or make me very sick 😞    I wear a mask out in public to prevent me from germs especially inndoors like shoppin centers , I can careless what ppl think but so far no problems . i have to protect my life 🙂

Im having a fundraiser held by my daughter oct 6, have a lot of info to share about all lung illness and im spreadin awarness on organ donation too copd , tx , and to sign to u to be a donor. rember sickorettes will turn into KILLERETTES IN DUE TIME!! protect urself . live longer and see ur grandchildren grow ur kids ,my youngest is 16 20,26,27 yea im blessed and never take anything for  granted, appreciate all the small stuff bc that small stuff can be the big stuff and u never even seen it .. life is great fight for the air u breathe and learn to dance in the rain ,LMAO I DID the other night in what they called our tornado LMAO RELI .. HANG IN THERE FOR THOSE OF U WHO ARE STARTING OUT .. BE STRONG DONT GIVE IN . FIGHT IT & USE UR HEAD .. LIVE BREATHE OR DIE MAYB SUFFOCATE ALONG THE WAY ,, THAT WAS ME .SUFFOCATING . iM NOT SUGAR COATING IT ,COPD EMPHYSEMA DONT DISCRIMINATE EAITHER . i just met a girl 29 yrs old copd open ur eyes and smell the freash air not the smoke xoxox well have meds to do rem facebook im there alot ,but now that colder weathers comin ill be here to , have to ajust everything &im workin my way back :)) Joanne xox smokefree dont no lmao almost 700 days thats all i no lmao the meds got my brain xoxo

Hey jojo, there you are! You were starting to worry me. I read that you were fighting an infection. I am so very happy to see and hear you. You certainly have the best spirit. I am so glad you are doing donor work. I just got my new drivers ID and it goes without saying I'm a donor. Not too sure what I can donate because I plan on using what I have, I'd love to stick around for many many years to come, but just in case there's anything left, I love to help someone be able to live a little easier if possible. I love your new profile pic. It deplicts the person you are. HAPPY! 🙂  Great picture!
