I never mentioned one of the biggest struggles of my life to anyone else that didn't know when i went through it...though it is no where compared to such struggles as cancer,Lou Gehrig Disease,etc... I feel that it was a time that i understood many things, and changed...
During my senior year of HS...I went to the ER at my local hospital because i was feeling a bit winded (I suffer from chronic ashtma,though not as bad now), come to find out my O2 (oxygen) was at 63/95 (95 is normal,healthy o2 intake level), the doctors rushed me into a bed and began to test the hell out of me...i took ekg's, ecg's,mri's,etc...as they had found out that i had pulminary hypertension,which was caused by a partialy collapsed lung on my right...sleep apnea, and diabetes....(they said that some of this was caused due to me being a premature baby,3.5 months early...and weighe1 lbs...5 ounces...)(hell of a 1-2-3 punch huh?) They monitered my vitals 24-7, it was constant hell (well, not as bad as it could have been), as i was a shallow sleeper, and the machine that watched my vitals went off...well,i was in the hospitol for two weeks...and come to find out, i was going to be on oxygen for at least two years...because, my lungs were similar to that of a 60 year old who had been smoking for 40 years,(at least thats what the doctor said....) so, i was to get my right lung re-inflated and lose weight (150 lbs.) and my lungs were going to heal...and now...6 years later...i am glad to say that i am healthy, wealthy, and .....well, maybe not wise...
I am engaged to a beautiful woman, have a great job..(as you might have noticed by the nickname change) and am healthy...
