Hi, I am Gary, 61 years young. Separated thanks to weak wife and this bugger. Since this morning I decided to get off my caboose and get back out there with the world and be one again? I am sorry but I must confess I am not up with all the jargon but here is what you all get. A old bloke who is BLOODY sick of feeling sorry for himself, wants to talk to people but knows they not thinking bad or sorry for me. I want to talk of what's happening in my life without feeling like I am a loser, weak miserable BLUDGER. I want to speak to you KNOWING what I am describing and understanding. A Survivor knows BETTER Than a DOCTOR what a Survivor is saying! As I stated I am not medical due to my age and stupidity! I had a (R) Lung Removal back in '08 Since then I have kicked OXY Contin and now am on Endone 5Ml.plus Lasix 40Gm. twice a day. I also suffer with swelling of my legs and my feet look like ( %#$!) I was given by the way by a LOVELY nurse from Concord Repat some booklets of Pneumonectomies :Living with one Lung. They have helped me immensely ! I live in the Penrith NSW area and would love to catch up or converse with others in this area? PS: If we meet I apologise in advance as due to my current complexities I sleep in a chair and can't lie down flat apparently 2% suffer from this after such an operation of this kind?) so I have not had shoes on my feet for over 2 years as I cant bend down. I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Lung Disease and been allocated 3-4 years left. My remaining lung is down to 27% and declining. I have to watch I don't get any more Colds that could turn nasty but love walking and greeting fellow like minded walkers along the way. If you are interested please drop me an email.
