Pulmonary Rehabilitation 5 weeks left

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Thursday, I’m sure your all exited that you only have 1 more day of the work week….Well I finished up my session of Pulmonary Rehab today with nice progress. I’ve been on level 5 for weeks now and I requested to move-up to level 6. The levels are just an increase of the machines. I was able to increase on all the machines but 2. I was able to go longer on the bike and increased my level to 4 which is my hardest machine. I was able to increase the treadmill by 1 level and add an incline finally. I only have 5 more weeks; and I’m really hoping to start the program again once I complete this round of rehab. I really feel like it’s helped me learn to focus on my breathing and it has helped me build up my strength. I feel like this program will help me maintain my strength until I get my double lung transplant, so I will be as strong as possible when the time comes. I’ve heard that they get you out of bed as soon as the first day after surgery if possible. So I want to be in the best physical and mental shape I can be in prior. One day at a time! Thank you all for your support in my journey!
