New Inspirational Book: Waiting Time: My life before and after the lung transplantation
Dear Respiratory Friends today we are very happy to present you great Inspirational book by Barbara Eyrich from Germany - Waiting Time: My life before and after the lung transplantation!!
Several words about book from author Barbara Eyrich:
This book is neither meant to be a medical treatise on my histology -
COPD / PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA - nor a guide or decision-making aid for or
against a lung transplant. It is also not supposed to be a pure boring
biography. Plus - it is furthermore not my intention to settle up with
anybody or cope with certain incidences, even if the one or other reader
might get this impression. The book simply describes this time of my
life: How the illness started, the waiting period prior to my
transplantation with all the preparations, and the wait for a donor
organ, the transplantation itself - and what happened afterwards.
How did I feel and do during this long WAITING TIME? There were
quite a few relapses I had to suffer from and to handle. How did I
manage to overcome them? What had helped me, and who was involved? How
did it happen that I had to decide on a transplantation? , and finally,
how did I continue after the surgery?
For some readers it will not be easy to cope with those details, as I
do come up with a lot of negative things. But: That's the way it was
and is - and therefore I have to describe how they happened and how my
overall condition is right now. Life, despite all positive thoughts and
desires, often turns out completely differently than expected in the
long- run. Such experiences cannot be found in any brochure, as life
writes an individual story for each human being.
All the names of people mentioned in this book have been changed,
abbreviated or made up in order to protect their identities.
Similarities in name of living persons are purely coincidental or have
been approved.
Please wait...! Isn't this something we all have experienced at some
point of time? Everyone reacts differently to these two words. One
bangs on the table, is not willing to wait and wants everything to be
instantly done. For the next one standing at the bus stop time gets too
long; he starts running off too early and eventually misses the bus
which arrives shortly after he has gone away and which leaves without
him. Someone else patiently endures the waiting time, though seething
inside. Yet another one deals with the waiting time, prepares for the
things to come and does not even realize how quickly or slowly time
passes by, and suddenly - the wait is over.
As for my book: I want to picture my story; how it all began with
the chronic disease COPD and the pulmonary emphysema, and all the ups
and downs. I will show you insight into my private and inner self, and
will describe the people who have accompanied me on my way: Clinical
personnel, doctors, physiotherapists, companions from my Lungensport
group (special breathing techniques), support groups, church, family,
friends, and neighbors, simply the entire social environment. During
this time, there was a lot I had to endure and to cope with; till this
very day I wonder how I was able to manage everything.
