Debra A.'s Story
Life
Well I've some really good news to share.. I'm doing so much better "Breathing wise!" The drs say my lungs are never going to be good again, but I'm making my body stronger so I'll be ready for my transplant. My Pulmonary Rehab is helping with this. I just finish my first 3 month plan, lost 12 lbs and made overall major improvements. I've a long road ahead of me.. So pls pray that I can continue to prepare for my lung transplant. I'm especially proud of myself that this yr I've only been in the hospital once this yr.
As for my kids! My oldest son is getting married on July 19th, 2008! My 2nd son is due to go to Iraq in 2008. His wife just started nail school. My daughter and family have moved to Burley, Idaho (5 hrs away) So I don't get to see much of any of them now.
Maggie Mae i...Expand for more
s now 14 months old.. She's still 150% puppy. I'd never trade her for any other dog, not even a poodle. She's has been a very big joy in my life. It's nice to know there's someone at home waiting for me and is always really happy to see me..
So I'd have to say that 2007 has been full of surprises, some good and some bad. But overall mostly good. God has blessed me in so many ways, with Maggie Mae, good friends and family. The biggest blessing I've had is my health.. Thank GOD..
I pray all is well with each of u and ur families too. So take care of urselves and ur families too. Happy Holiday to all.
Workplace
I am retired. When I worked my favorite job was in the medical field. Especially in the Home Health. I enjoyed helping others. Giving them joy even if it was only for a few minutes.
