super hot day today!

what a hot day today!! this is the first time that i have found it very difficult to breath while working. I was fine in the air conditioning but the minute i stepped outside i lost my breath from the heat and humidity. i am totally exhausted.
Within the next few weeks i will finally be meeting with the lung transplant team at Beth Israel. My lung cd's have finally been received!
I have been trying to keep up with things at home. I have been pushing myself to the max. What took me only 2 hours to cut my lawn now takes about 6 because i try to rest in between. Mikey has been an unbelievable help to me. He is my little right hand man and i have been trying to teach him little things around the house. He has even been there to rescue me a few times during my choking spells. I'm not certain if i mentioned this earlier but the scleroderma has affected my swallowing and everytime i eat i have to keep something to drink close by otherwise i will choke and potentially aspirate my food into my lungs.
well everyone try to keep cool today!
