Reviews
" Transplanted is the story of what it means to grow up with cystic fibrosis and to face the everyday reality of death and dying. Allison does so with a lighthearted charm and easy humour. She describes the painful details of medical procedures with eviscerating honesty...." " Transplanted is a text that takes its reader to the furthest reaches of medical technology, to the brink of death, then back through the hard journey of sustaining the physical and mental resiliency it takes to heal a body that has been profoundly traumatized. What Allison calls "The seemingly continuous attempt of my body to die." It reflects the transplantation of one pair of lungs into the body of another, in an Ouroboros-like maneuver of death creating life. Inside it's pages, we can experience how stories transform us and heal us." --Canadian Critics

Synopsis
When Allison Watson awoke that day, she knew she was in a hospital bed. That's all. She had no idea how much time had passed since she had seen her family. When she tried to focus, her vision was blurry, and when she tried to wave someone down, she became so exhausted she thought she was dying. Hours later, when Watson was able to communicate, she asked a nurse if the news was good or bad. "It's good news," the nurse replied. "You had your lung transplant four days ago." About 4,100 people in Canada have cystic fibrosis, and many are living longer today, thanks, in part, to transplants. CF mainly affects the digestive system and lungs, and there is no cure. In this candid memoir, Watson describes living with the disease and her life-altering surgery in 2014. Watson and her sister, Amy, both grew up with CF, and Allison had always believed that Amy would be the one to get a transplant first. The decision to undergo surgery was not easy. Nor was the road to full recovery. In this book, Watson, who cycled across Canada with her brother in 2008 to raise awareness of CF, describes her journey.
