nicolaj;
No transplants, diagnosed at age eight in 1956, after much illness since birth with many hospitalizations through age twelve.
My wife and I live on the California coast about 45 minutes south west of San Francisco. we enjoy some of the cleanest and freshest air in the country!
I moved to California from Massachusetts in 1990 after having enough of the harsh winters and year round air polution. The smartest thing I ever did!!!
My FEV1 was 33% last time it was checked three months ago. I am happy living on less oxygen! It kind of goes along with the fact that I have less interest in participating in the world the way I use to. I am self employed and work out of my home doing computer aided design and drafting. It is an easy life of my choosing.
It takes less energy to do the things I really enjoy anyway, like being near the ocean and spending relaxing time with my wife and our cat and our closest friends.
Life continues to be good and challenging just like it always has. The people and circumstances are just a little different, that's all.
Best wishes to all!!
