Still on the list

Hi, don't post often but am always here, been on the list for double lung transplant for 11 months now. During that time I have deteriorated, I am now on 16hrs of oxygen and am not feeling as strong, yet I go to pr every week and am doing good. I wish I new when that all important call would come, I'm not disheartened but it is frustrating. Just being on the list is so hard, starting to feel like we're all walking on egg shells 😢

I wish both of you the best and a phone call soon. I know what it is like waiting a couple of days for test results so can't imagine what it must be like for you not knowing how much longer it will be.
