Recently my non-smoking wife underwent a double-lung transplant due to a very rare and insidious disease that only affects women. A couple months ago a writer for Woman's World magazine decided to write a story on her and I think it's worth sharing.
Please keep in mind two things before reading:
1) They sensationalize a bit.
2) That picture of me makes my face look like an alien, which I am not. I look normal!
And don't be checking out my daughter, she's only 15!!
This is why the Jeep had to go, as a I've got medical bills you guys can't fathom.
Ah Very Cool! Thats great that everything went ok. Lungs can be a pretty tricky business, no doubt. People have NO IDEA just how complex your lungs are... Transplants in general are complex for that matter. My father had a liver transplant about 10years back, and it is not something you want to go through...
I'm actually going up to minnesota here in August to the University of Minnesota Medical School to observe transplants for a week. It would be awesome if I got to see a lung transplant while I am there.. *crosses fingers*.... btw.. nice pug.
