So now that I've found

So now that I've found this blogger.com site I have decided that I want to start keeping even more logs. For instance. I'd been keeping a somewhat handdone log of things to do with my lungs. The problem is that it is a pain in the ass to keep updating it by hand. So soon I will probably put a blog there also.

So once again, New England is getting hit by snow. We're supposed to get another 5 or so inches tonight. I am very not looking forward to it. With my current state of health getting dug out is a big deal. Tuesday it took me about two hours. I'd sit in the car and rest, get out, brush off some more snow, get back in the car, and repeat until done.

For those of you who aren't familiar with what is going on with my health. I have something called Interstatial Pulmonary Fibrosis. It basicly means that there is some kind of scarring in my lungs. This means they don't process oxygen too well. In fact, they suck at it. Imagine walking up a flight of stairs and being winded, not because you are out of shape, but because you just can't get enough oxygen. And that is just a single flight of stairs. I'm currently on various medications for it, but the only real cure is a lung transplant. Which really isn't a cure. I'm just trading medical conditions to one that is a little bit more managable. There's a bunch more on this on my lung page, and soon I'll be starting up a blog there also for issues with that.
