Bruce, best wishes for you.
Coincidentally, I was just reading an article yesterday about lung transplant, and lung disease, in the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) newsletter. I think UWMC is well regarded in that field.
If you are interested to read about their program, or get a 2nd opinion, Here is their link.
edit to add: "Respiratory disorders care at UWMC ranked 11th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2005." another link Here

I saw an ad (poster) for a Bailey's martini. It's Bailey's chilled in a martini glass.
Why is this a martini??????????????
Is everything served in a martini glass now called a martini? If I put tomato juice and vodka in a martini glass is it a martini? Maybe it'll be called a bloody marytini?
Argh.

Thoughts and prayers go out to you, Bruce.

Oh, Bruce, I hope you recover quickly, and that you're not in too much pain.

I feel good just short of breath, very short of breath. May move to SF for a week for some tests, then back here. It's up to the doctors.

Wow! Do they just harvest someone else's lung and give it to you, or do they clean it up/out first?
[This isn't one of those stories where you ended up hungover in a bathtub full of ice in Vegas, is it?]
Here's hoping you're better than new when it's all said and done.
That shit cray.
