Hello! My name is Ryan Berger, I’m a 24-year-old software developer living in Seattle, WA. This is the first real post of my blog, and oh boy is it a doozy! To cut it short: in the coming months, I will be undergoing a bilateral lung transplant at the University of Washington. I have—since I was 13—known this was coming, but my lung function and blood tests show that I am not too far off from respiratory failure. My doctors have determined that I am in good shape and it is now time.
