    Just wanted to give you an update, as I have been in hospital since good friday, just got out there at the weekend, I am doing ok, no nearer to tranplant ( I have been diagnosed with IPF-idipathic lung fibrosis) its a terminal illness, but i am still fighting it, my lung capacity is 45% at the moment it has to be 30% before tranplant will be considered as the organs are just not availble. and I am on oxygen all the time.

    They have asked me if i wanted some restbite in hospice, dont know which one yet, so I said yes, I am burnt out and exhausted after all the tests and other problems, so I need time out for a while.

    Thank you all so much for your good wishes texts and support, its so much appreciated, you are all very special to me and always will be, i will continue to help as and where I can.

    I would ask you all again the importance of carry a doner card, discuss this with your family, you never know it could be you or one of your family, at any time, TEXT DONOR 50050 for a card

    I have never smoked and was swimming 50 lenghts a day of a 33mtr pool 3 months before i was diagnosed with this condition.

    Pam, I can only wish and pray that you will recover from this awful illness. I don't know you like others on the site would, but I know from reading posts on here that everyone holds you in high regard and I can tell that you are a one in a million kind of character.

    With the grace of God you will pull through, you will be in my prayers.

    Keep the good side out Pam. It is so good that you are a fighter with a positive attitude. With your new much deserved lung you will get to see Liverpool captains lift many more silver pots.

    Pam not much that I can add to what has already been said above, But keep strong and when you get your transplant, you'll be a different person. No doubt, doing 100 laps of the pool. Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. YNWA
