I had pneumonia a couple of years ago so had a chest x-ray, they called me in and wanted to know if I had ever lived in the Ohio River Valley. My lung x-ray showed that I had symtoms of Ohio River Valley lung disease or something like that.
Quite some time ago, like maybe eight years or so ago, I went on vacation to Jamaica REALLY sick with pneumonia. I slept most of my time at Citronella during the day, took my medication, just so REALLY extremely ill. I really just got up to go and get food, a really kind of wasted vacation sleeping all the time.
This was when it was fairly easy to fly from Negril back to Mobay to get on your flight back home. I had a reservation which was cancelled due to high wind. It was a really really DUSTY time due to the drought. And that didn't do well at all as I had pneumonia. I got at last minute drive to Mobay, SO DUSTY.. the roads and everything.
Luckily I had really good cough medicine. "Ohio River Lung Disease".. now I have never ever ever been in Ohio but I think I got this thing in my lungs in Jamaica.
There were some reports long ago that I remember reading about where ganja was treated with some kind of eradication drug or something?? Anyone remember anything about this?
Anyway, my lungs have a problem, I kind of avoid follow-up visits with this lung Dr. I did really like him though. I really don't have a problem but can see that I might have one in the near future. I have an inhaler "rescue inhaler" it's called. I don't use it too much at all, just when it gets realy hot and humid, like over 95 degrees.
