Here's the update on my health situation:
As most of you know, I've had collapsed lungs when I were 20 years old then when I were 21, and when I were 22, and when I were in hospital (for a week), I went through an awful lot of pain.
Sure, having a tube inserted into your chest sucking out water & access air is real pleasent if you're into extreme pain, and after having 2 operations to have my lungs glued to my rib cage to prevent them from collapsing again I was later diagnosed with emphysema, and I know you're wondering "Do you smoke?"...the answer is: No.
The doctors did tests to find a possible cause of my emphysema which all results came back null and void.
So the doctors have put it down as because I was at the time tall and thin (I weighed 7 stone back then and now I weight 10.4 stone).
But...I don't wanna sit at home and get fat, why? because my family has a history of heart problems and most of people who have emphysema die of heart failure, so this is why I would like to join a gym provided that they give me like a private physio or something so I don't do anything that my body wont forgive me for and come out feeling like an elephant has trampled all over my body.
And as for my Mugen project, my brother found me those wires but the wires I were after weren't in amongst those other wires so I'm gonna go buy 1 tomorrow, but I will make a Mugen trailer for my project, with music & text (like a professional trailer).
Peace out.
My illness: Emphysema
What Is Emphysema?
Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. These toxins destroy the small air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, that stretch as they transport oxygen from the air to the blood and then shrink as they force out carbon dioxide. As a result, the lungs lose their elasticity, and exhaling becomes difficult as the damaged lungs trap air and cannot effectively exchange it with fresh air. As the damage progresses, the effort needed to breathe increases and, ultimately, each breath becomes labored. (Illustration provided by the American Medical Association.)
Emphysema is one of a group of lung diseases referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can interfere with normal breathing. Other diseases that come under COPD include asthma and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), nearly 16 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of COPD, and COPD is the fourth-ranking cause of death just behind heart ailments, cancers, and stroke.
