2. but trying not to be morbid but the worse that can happen is you die
and i never had anyone come back and tell me that is worse than here
and my condition affects my breathing and oxygen to my system
sometimes you wish it would just get done with
my condition hundreds of people die every day
and i feel as good now as i did when i got sick
3. thats why never despair and give up hope
always believe it will be better tomorrow or 10 minutes from now
learn the limits, learn how to make your life better and still enjoy it
4. drs see a lot of patients with the same thing all the time
they are not god and what works for a hundred people may not work for you
don't be afraid to tell them
5. i have every confidence with your spirit, attitude, and sense of humor
once you get thru the adjustment period you will be just fine
and like the one commercial says there is no expiration date stamped on your foot
6. i know i went on and on but you are just about my best friend if even only thru the board
pm me i can help any or you just want to tell or yell at someone
best wishes

I've been thinking about you a lot mcp1275. Almost as much as I've been thinking about my heart
I definately want to stay in contact with you, so don't go anywhere (heh heh, thats a joke
) Seriously, you are a good friend and now perhaps a source of aid and comfort as well. Keep talking to me, buddy. I'll probably pm you shortly - folks here probably don't need to know every detail.
Anyway, gotta run now - doctors appointments today. I'm in learning mode these days. Lets see what they got for me today....
thanks again to you and all who have responded
