Hello sibkev . That's pretty amazing. 😊 I'm so pleased it's going so well. How often do you have to have a bronchoscopy now?

I know. πŸ˜… but it's in the agreement for transplant. Hidden how about in Australia?

Hi a very noticeable difference, hope you are feeling as good after the transplant.. Don't forget to get exercising, eating well and keeping fit. They don't unfortunately do this again and certainly not golden oldies like me. Look after them they are very precious.
