Great job, but intense!
Don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.
FEV1 in the 100s.
Set aside time to workout and do treatments.

I worked full-time as a truck driver for 23 years. I drove cross-country for about 5 years & spent the rest of the time running AZ-NM-TX-NV & CA. Mostly stayed in AZ though.
When I was trucking cross-country I had an inverter rigged up in my sleeper so I could do Pulmozyem & other meds via SVN.
After I had my lung trans I thought 'Cool! Now I can work for another 20 years!'
Wrong.
I was able to work for only 9 months post-TX. After that the anti-rejection drugs turned me diabetic.
You can't drive a semi & be insulin dependent.
Now I'm retired.
My wife says I need to enjoy what time I have left. I spend my days riding my ATV in the back country of AZ.
I also still travel. I like to spend winters with family in ID.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss driving a truck.
It was what I was meant to do & I really miss it.

Cool story, Pat! Only one Q on my mind: I thought people with CF can't drive semis? Or is it just diabetics? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
