My name is Michelle, I’m, ahem, “mid thirties”, I’m married to the wonderful Simon and we have lovely little girl known as Lolo.
I was born with a condition called Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) – hence the title of my blog, and I want to tell you my story, as it was and is today.
I guess I should say more about PH shouldn’t I?
Okay – let me firstly say I am a layman when it comes to explaining my health situation – I still wear my ‘kiddie’ hat to understand it but I will do my best.
Pulmonary Hypertension is a progressive, often degenerative condition that causes increased blood pressure in the lungs and heart. The heart has to work harder to counter-act the fact that the lungs don’t work as well as they should.
The prognosis of the condition on paper isn’t good – but as I hope to demonstrate that paper isn’t always the strongest substance!
To learn more about the condition from people who really know what they are talking about go to PHA-UK.ORG!
Me – June 2007 – I know I need to find a more recent picture 
Bye for now!
