Just picked up this thread and read through it.Great news. Hang tough, thoughts are with you.
That’s really good news Steve!!! Prayers up for continued success.
That’s fantastic news Steve! My prayers and hopes that your condition will remain stable for the forseeable future [Y]
Good to hear. Now that you are keeping on with builds, hopefully the not caring phase has passed behind you and that will help with the news as well. We are all still here for you and behind you all the way.
Yes, I’m passed that phase. I was feeling sorry for myself several months back but reading others stories, I snapped out of it. There are several other members on the forum who have/are going through much worse than I and do not complain. It woke me up.
Whew Steve! Great News indeed.
Outstanding report, Steve. I look forward to seeing a lot more of your builds.
Oh My;
Listen , I don’t know if it helps . I have a coronary pacemaker-defibrillator implant.Had it three years now and C.O.P.D. Making it okay .My prayers are with you and your family .Stay strong as you can and Model On - -Tanker - Builder

Hi guys,
I went to the pulmonologist Monday, a couple of months early, because my O2 saturation was dropping so quickly with activity. Well my numbers have dropped significantly and my Dr. wants me to go to the transplant center to “get on the books”.
After some checking with the insurance and other entity’s, I asked the Dr. to refer me to UT Southwestern in Dallas. My brother lives there and we can stay with him should it become necessary for a transplant in the future which would save up somewhere around $1600 to $2000 per month. The Dr. hasn’t responded yet but there isn’t any reason to deny it since it is really my decision.
If all goes well, we should go there sometime in the spring to do the initial breathing test and workup.
That’s my update. While in Dallas my wife and I want to go to Squadron for a tour and maybe some new goodies. [:D]
Good luck to you, Steve. We’re pulling for you.
Thanks Check.
There are times when I get concerned for the future but things keep working out. For instance, the Hospital here in Boise is allowing me to work out at their gym using their oxygen for free for life. This fulfills the Pulmonary Rehab requirements for a transplant and allows me to keep the rest of my body healthy and workout without putting stress on my heart due to the lack of oxygen. Also we found out our insurance allows grants up to $5000 yearly for medical travel, lodging, car rental and pet lodging. What a blessing!
Prayer already sent. Good luck.
Goodnews comes in abundance!!!

That some good news bud. Prayers lifted up for you. As far as Squadron goes, I’ve been there many times back when I used to work at Vista Ridge Buick/ GMC (and way back when it was Pontiac too) off IH-35 at the George Bush Turnpike intersection there in Carrolton (which used to be Trinity Mills BTW) . Just get on the ol’ GBT and in a few short minutes I was there.[;)]
Wishing you all the best Steve. Stay positive and focused my friend.
