Patient

Short Bio

I have radiation induced pulmonary fibrosis.  I had lung cancer 4 1/2 years ago using a Chemo/radiation protocol.   I am on O2 — 4 — 24/7.  I use O2 — 5– when I’m out getting into my car  and to my scooter and in the pool.  I go to a therapy pool to be able to walk/run/kick for an hour each day.  It’s heavenly!!!  My sweet hubbie is my care taker.  I  read and watch TV too much.  Stuck inside, caused by the virus, from visiting with friends for lunch and playing bridge and shopping.  I do sleep around 10 to 12 hours a day and sit around the rest.  Very, very tired and achy most of the time.   I do wear a smile all the time and try to be happy with my hubby, 2 cats and a dog.
