you're gonna love this one. Lindsay's first walk with new lungs!
She did one lap, with only a couple stops.
Steph says she was also asking for her hair brush, A girl after my own heart, always the fashionista.
Go Lindsayyyyyy!

SO much love and positive vibes are coming at you from all angles over here.
You got the twitter and the facebook world all in a frenzy, it even kicked me out from overload this morning!

The drugs are starting to kick in now, and Lindsay feels really quite dopey and loopey.
After her walk, Lindsay is sitting up in the chair. Good to drain all the extra liquid in to her chest tubes, trying to take deep breaths and get those lungs working and inflated!
The drugs are making her very tired, so she's sleeping in the chair. Those are some powerful drugs they're pumpin' her full of, so she doesn't feel the pain from her incision site across her chest.

.... it is with a little smile on my face that I write this next thing, Lindsay has forgotten how to cough. When something becomes as natural as breathing (no pun intended ha) like coughing was for Lindsay the last 25 years "forgetting how to cough seems unfathomable"...for a girl who's been coughing up a lung (i'm full of puns today) for 25 years....your memory sure can go out the window when you don't NEED to cough anymore. It's not a reflex anymore. She has to re learn it. Just like yawning, and breathing the correct way, (cf'ers don't know how to breathe properly, due to our low lung function) Lindsay is starting from scratch. She's got to learn to do things and learn to be in this body with the new lungs she has. It's a long, steady process, but it starts...with a sip of juice.
Lindsay had her first sip of juice at 11:30am and cannot stop talking about it all day. Picture being in the desert for 2 days, and being hit in the chest by a land rover truck....then picture taking a sip of water. That's about how lindsay is feeling after her sip of juice. A little slice of bliss. Enjoy bliss Lindsay...it just gets better from here on out. Promise.
