IN 2002, I SLIPPED AND BROKE(COMPOUND) MY WRIST. BECAUSE OF MY AGE(69), FAILURE TO FLUSH THE OPENING, AND INVASIVE SURGERY, I CONTRACTED DEEP VEIN TROMBOSIS AND ALMOST DIED.
MINUTE BLOOD CLOTS FROM MY LEG CALF COLLECTED IN MY LUNGS CAUSING EXTENSIVE SCAR TISSUE. I AM NOW 88 WITH COPD AND SCAR TISSUE WHICH MAKES BREATHING DIFFICULT. MY PULMONARY DOCTOR PREDICTED THIS CONDITION. I MANAGE TO LIVE WITH THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH SEVERE COUGHING SPELLS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, FATIGUE, AND HOT FLASHES. I TAKE VARIOUS DRUGS WHICH SEEM TO HELP ME THROUGH ANOTHER DAY.
