About Me
- Name: ARDS Survivor
- Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
At the age of thirty three, my life was changed in ways that I could not imagine. Once a overwhelmed and extremely stressed out attorney, I suddenly found myself critically ill with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The entire summer of 1995, I spent in the hospital, on a vent, fighting for my life. After recoverying, against all odds, my life was forever changed. Now, I work part time and dedicate myself to doing something for others who have had to endrue the life changing affects from ARDS. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

still HOT in Chicago! The last time we had such a heatwave, I was in the hospital all summer. Ten years ago...
two weird things about that was that when I can out of the coma, I noticed how pale everyone was.
And I kept hearing on the news how hot it was, how many in chicago died (over 1000 heat related deaths).
Still, everyone looked pale.
The hospital was so hot, air reduced, and they did not use the lights. I snagged a standing fan that I wanted on all the time.
getting ready for another hot day tomorrow!
