Weekend Ramblings – July 2, 2022

Hi friends! I accidentally took a six-month vacation from blogging. I have a lot of reviews to catch up on! I’ve been MIA because I really needed to focus on my health. I’ll copy and paste what I posted on my personal Facebook page a few months ago:

As of today (January 25, 2022), I’m on the waiting list to have a double lung transplant at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. The average wait time is 2-3 months but theoretically, the call could come at any time. At which point, I have been instructed to head for St. Louis within 10-15 minutes of receiving the call. I’ll be in the hospital for 2-3 weeks and then moving to some sort of temporary housing in St. Louis to rehab for three months before I can move back home. Travis will stay with me in St. Louis while I’m in the hospital and once I’m out, my dad will move to St. Louis to be my main caregiver as I’m required to have someone with me 24/7. McElhany family stress level is high but joyful. This is a good thing. It will be worth it in the long run. My bags are packed.

It’s been five months and I still haven’t gotten the call but what can I do but keep waiting? In the meantime, I’m just living life as normally as possible. I probably won’t post many updates here about this journey but you are welcome to follow me at the Facebook page that I specifically created for updates: Live Lung and Prosper

Now back to the book reviews!
