5 years yay :)

Here me with pink lips and happy :) --->

First after my transplant like walk 5-10 minutes was amazing and i didn´t need to stop to rest every minute or be out of breathe when i came to the city. wonderful!
But only 4 months after my transplant. My left eye started to look like an eye infection and after visiting 3 diffrent hospitals i finally came to my transplant hospital and things became more critical. The docs found fungus on one of my heartvalvs. The fungus had spred from the eye to my heart, in my bloodsystem.
I had a lifesaveing heartvalve surgery but to bad both my eyes got effected from the fungus. One worse than the other eye. My kidneys could not handle it. so I ended up on dialysis for 6 months.
After been at my trasnpalnt hospital for 3 months i finally could travle home but only to be in a hospital closer to my home.
I went in and out of hospitals in the fall of 2007, i lost alot of weight due to the fungus meds i was on. at least, I weighed 31 kg i became really weak and could not walk long distances because of my joints in the body were affected by medication, so I had a wheelchair.
In the beginning of 2008 my kidneys had came back to OK and i could stop dialysis finally!
My body was still weak from the meds but in May of 2008 i flow to the Nehtherlands to visit a very good friend of mine. It was a step forward in my recovery :)
I had an fantastic time in the Netherlands and my friend and suport from her family was amazing.
The journey to the Netherlands was very importent to me and I had the strength to continue to fight to survive.
Things slowly got better and i got my weight back and started to get use to not be able to see as much as i had done before. i got alot of things that could help me at home.
this is a bit of my story. also this with the fungus. so I do not regret that I chose a trasnplantation. it saved my life anyway. :)
Today i study at the uni. and live my life to the fullest.
