IT'S MY ONE YEAR LUNGIVERSARY!

I can't believe it's been a year. It's flown by, and I think I've lived more life in the last year than I have in the previous 23. That's what it feels like, anyway. 

There's not much to say other than that I'm forever grateful for just being able to live, and live a life I couldn't have begun to envision for myself a year ago, being rolled into the OR for what I knew was the start of something good.

Oh, also, thank you.

Thank you, Columbia's Lung Transplant Program, for taking a chance on me. Saving my life.

Thank you, to all of the LOVELY staff at NYP for helping me heal.

Thank you to my family for the support, which is endless.

Thank you to Mom and Dad, for giving up a few months of your life to help me get many more months of mine back.

And thank you, whoever is reading this, for the role you've played in my journey thus far. You helped me get here!

Pay it forward by signing up to be an organ donor if you aren't already. You may end up saving several lives in the process, and who knows? Maybe it'll be for the next Kelsey. https://www.organdonor.gov/sign-up

Stay happy and healthy (however that looks for you), 

Kelsey
