I'll never be able to work again, but oh well. Only way I could is if I got a double lung transplant, but My doctor says at this point he doesn't want to put me through it because he believes that despite having this disease that I can have a better quality of life then I would if I got a lung transplant... With transplant it's a little bit dicey because you're not sure if the transplant will take plus you're not sure how long it will last. Getting a second transplant is even harder than getting a first one.

Aw I’m sorry! That really sucks! even like a secretary job or somewhere you could sit you couldn’t? I didn’t realize your lungs were so bad either!

 

[ShrekDawg]

Yeah definitely. I ate a lot yesterday too. I had 3 dinners I had two pieces of pizza, a vegan ramen noodle cup, and my soup from Panera and about half the bread bowl I shared the rest with the dogs

OMG you must’ve been starving!! Now you’re making me hungry. I think I skipped dinner last night so now I’m starving

I did snack a lot but still

Just for giggles
What is everyone's Job history by age 25
I'll go first

Grew up helping taking care of 17 ponies and 50+ St Bernards, 12 basset hounds, plus puppies until they were sold.. parents bred them...took about 3hrs weekdays and 10 hrs on weekend days
College worked 3 jobs to put myself through
Got a job at the college, moved up when opportunity, perseverance, preparation and God's will provided

Started working when I was 12. Sorted and cleaned up a storage room. Then I spent the entire summer standing at a commercial shredder, destroying documents that went back 30+ years. The next summer I worked as the only administrative person in a warehouse. Ran the whole thing myself. When I started high school I was a cashier in the corner drug store, a bus girl at a restaurant. I had to leave high school due to illness. Once I was well enough I worked doing research and compiling data. When I returned to school I was a receptionist at a home for handicapped kids. I could go further, but it'd take too long.

I'm on a medication called veletri. I have 5 minutes to get connected if something happens like my line breaks or something else. If I don't I can go into cardiac arrest. Its too much if a liability for any company to hire me, I have even been sent to other hospitals because I'm too much of a liability.

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is pretty serious. Basically all the arteries to my lungs are closed causing extreme pressure and enlarging the right side of my heart. The IV meds are opening the arteries so I can breathe, but if it's shut off the arteries will close back up causing me lungs and heart to fail.

Yeah I usually don't eat before 12 so eating pizza early around 930 made my husband laugh. Think he's just glad I'm actually eating.

you had pizza for breakfast!? I forgot how early it was for a second

I usually can’t eat for like at least a couple hours after I wake up. No matter what time it is hah and sometimes, like now, I’m a bit nauseous in the morning.

 

[Molpet]

Oh wow! Sounds like it was a successful/popular kennel. That’s awesome!!

And whoa you’d never be able to find a dog for that now.

Except that $1000 is expensive, almost $5000 now!?

Yes 1k is about 5k now

ETA puppies near me are 300 to 600 five years ago haven't checked lately

St Bernards are not as popular as they once were

Yeah around 930 when I was eating pizza today seems to be dragging.

My husband is outside getting the brooder ready in the shed for the chicks they need more room. They're growing insanely fast. You should see some of the coloring of the chicks. They're so pretty!
