Herbert: Just my opinion but X'x are X's for a reason. Been there and done that with one of mine. No way. Your feeling and thoughts are true feeling and thoughts. Yes she maybe really sorry but then?…

she was not sure about the 02 hose you see in the photo. SHe chewed up one 50 and one 7 footer before she got use to them. It was fun trying to let her know they would not hurt her.. Now she does not want the tube in front of her food dish.

Have you sent this to others and asked them to send to everyone they know? Do you have a list of patients or has HIPPA gotten in the way? I only correspond with Arlene and Leon and you on steady basis.

Paul,
I'm on a longer leash at the moment.. I don't have to go back until March. Finally a little financial relief!
Will you be going to the Lung Transplant Reunion next year?

Hi Paul,
Almost 18 months post, feeling better every day. It's been a long road to recovery, stll feeling a tight, numb feeling, they tell me its because of the nerves being cut. The only problem I have had was CMV at the 9 month point. Unlike most bilaterals that get transplanted via clamshell, mine was through the back, like two singles. I live on the east side of brandon.

The Shands adventure wasn't their fault. The prep just wasn't enough for Bill's innerds. Next time will double the days of clear liquid diet and then double the prep (GO Lytely). Hoping that empties all the pockets and crevices.
