Can I color my hair after transplant?

Yes, you do deserve an A+.
I have a bronchoscope and biopsy every month right now. At first it was weekly, then bi-weekly and we just started to do it monthly. The biopsy is very small (pin point) and usually they alternate which lung to take it from.
The amazing thing (at least to me) is that my new lungs have actually grown (noted on X-ray comparison). Originally I was having x-rays 2x daily, which has gradually decreased to monthly. I think that my 4 mile walk every morning is helping with them grow and take back over the area that the other organs took when my old lungs were not working well.

Tina, your progress sounds amazing!
Hey Tina, was it the covid that damaged your lungs that caused you to need a transplant? Also, did you have your Ltx at Mayo Clinic?

@chickytina, There is no doubt that your morning walks are helping you to achieve a new normal with your new lungs. My liver and kidney department have always promoted walking.
I did not know that lungs would grow after transplant, but that makes sense since you are getting active and increasing your breathing capacity.
What did you find out about the dizziness that you mentioned? I hope it was not rejection.
