I was diagnosed in July 2019 with IPF, but contracted COVID with pneumonia in November 2020. I was getting winded after just walking a few blocks or just a flight or two of stairs. However, I went into the hospital in January 2021 because I couldn't shake the pneumonia. Between the COVID and pneumonia, the damage was a lot worse. Then I finally received my new set of lungs in May 2022.

I’m happy for you and your gift of life. I’ve had all my testing done already, was considered too early for transplant last September. They are re-presenting my case this month ((Dr. Alvarez) with the hope of getting me listed. I still do not have 02, 24/7 as my Sats usually stay 92 or so at rest, but they do drop to med to high 80’s with activity. Did you like Mayo Jax ? I think thus far they’ve been fabulous!!! 6 star rating in my book!!! How were they at transplant and post transplant?
