50/50

It seems like I spend 50% of my time in Chino and 50% of it at the hospital in Los Angeles. I left the hospital 3 weeks ago and was on home IVs 2 weeks ago, now I'm back.

I am being admitted to the hospital again today, the doctors think I am working too hard to breath. I am back on oxygen and short of breath every once in awhile. I was hoping that the next time I came to the hospital it would be for a transplant. I guess that's not happening.

The doctors are saying that it's good I am coming in before transplant so then they can get me as healthy as possible before the surgery and make sure I don't get too sick to have a transplant. I understand that but it still doesn't make me any happier about being admitted.

While I'm here they will hopfully fix my esophogus. They saw erosion when they did an EGD last week. In order to fix it, to make sure nothing comes up and into the new good lungs, the doctors have to close off my esophogus a little bit. I'm not sure how this is done, but hopfully I will get some answers soon.
