| Short Bio | i have been healthy my whole life . my weak spot was my sinus’s and my lungs with viral infections . in 2019 i was to go to have a hiatal hernia which was grapefruit size fixed. before surgery i was to visit a pulmonologist and a cardiologist.the cardiologist said no problem with surgery but the pulmonologist said no go see a specialist at UCLA. long story short covid came and my appointment was dropped til august by this time my lungs had deteriorated to the point of a transplant .what a surprise! Now i am 70 and still have the hernia and both ucla and Cedars sinai will not do a transplant . So here i sit on oxygen 24/7 and a wheelchair to get around .I am hoping for some transplant advice and tips for successful day to day living |
