I'd say I was the type of person who can pick themselves up when they feel down and make the best of a bad situation. If I'm feeling sad about anything I usually put my i-pod on and listen to something that will make me smile - Mcfly does the trick, but today is just one of those days where things feel a bit too much. Everyday in here is the same, the same faces, the same routine, everything is done by the clock it's all just very much the same every single day, it's like ground hog day in here. I miss my life, I miss being able to just nip to the shop to buy some make-up, I miss driving to my boyfriends for a cup of tea, I miss going to the cinema, going out for dinner, going out for drinks with the girls.. I miss being independent.

I look forward to the day when I can just walk out of the door, wind in my hair, smile on my face.. freedom.

Hi Sam, I am a fellow CFer who has been reading your blog. I am sorry to hear you are having a bit of a down day but hang in there as I am sure you will perk up, you need to have a few down days to make the good ones extra special. Have you thought about adding some comedy shows to your ipod? I love to listen to comedy so that really helps me out. Hang in there and keep writing as I am sure there are many others like me out here rooting for you!

Billions, Trillions - I dont know how many people in the world walk out of the front door everyday, wind in their face, without even thinking about it or what it means. When the day comes that you can do that, go outside, without a care in the world, the difference is you will appreciate every second. So little people actually even think about fresh air, being able to go outside - its just something they do. You however will be able to breathe in that air and appreciate every second of your new lungs (which by continuing like you are and working so hard you are going to get)and therefore surely that makes it so much more special. What's a 'perfect' 'normal' life when you dont appreciate it? I think you will know who this is from xxxxxxxx

A sunny hallo from SA to you Sam!

I read about you on another blog. Hope that you are feeling better by now....my chest even went tight just reading about you. But be still and know....our God knows about you. He watches you everyday and holds your hand when you are not feeling so good. A friend of mine had her 1 month anniversary with her new lungs the other day and I pray that you will receive you new lungs soon. I shall hold my breath with you...waiting and praying for you!
May you have a sparkly day...gardens full of flowers...
