go skins

I am watching the Redskins hold on to a 3 point lead, while the cowboys march up and down the field, so this lead might not last long. Uh Oh, I should not have brought my football loyalty into my blog, could lose a lot of readers.

My post two posts ago, which mentioned a few of my personal beliefs on current events attracted a few emails and a comment suggesting that the blog was now unreadable because I injected my political thoughts. Is Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin Political figures?? I thought they were cartoon caricatures!! I did not think it was a political post at all. I have been to Alaska and a Reindeer could be governor. For like a few weeks or maybe a month if it was the dead of winter. I was calling out inconsistencies in statements. It will not bother me if the dems lose the house and the senate. It is what it is. I have voted all ways, for the record. Democratic(which yes, I lean), republican(which as I get older some conservatism follows), and when I am real crazy on medication Independent. See now this blog has become political. I am sorry if I offended anyone but please if that post bothered you, please un-subscribe. Or in your comments make some humor at anyone or any thing you want and if it is funny I will probably laugh and I wont be offended. Unless of course it is offensive.

Now back to the lung transplant. Or second one for that matter. Had a fun weekend with my mom visiting. Things seem well. The lungs still feel very strong, however I still have some swelling in my chest area that just continues to prevent deep breaths and the lungs to fill all the way up. Some swelling has returned to my legs a bit with some pitting edema, but I have been told that this will fluctuate. I gained 13 pounds though in like a week, so how can that be from eating. Although I have been eating a lot. Even with not being able to take those huge breaths what I do have is great. I don't feel short of breath ever. We played some soccer and basketball with the boys, who won their first real soccer game 6-4 in their under-8 league. Both played fairly well for their first real league game.

I promise to post a transplant medical recap soon, as I wanted to document some of the procedures and protocols we did.
