Manic Monday - Bounty

Don't forget to visit the Manic Monday headquarters HERE to see links to other Manic Monday posts.

A bounty of bumpy pumpkins. Does this mean they're called "bumpkins?"

November if Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month. Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a rare blood vessel disorder of the lung in which the pressure in the pulmonary artery (the blood vessel that leads from the heart to the lungs) rises above normal levels and may become life threatening.

Symptoms of PH include shortness of breath with minimal exertion, fatigue, chest pain, dizzy spells and fainting.

Pulmonary Hypertension is frequently misdiagnosed and has often progressed to late stage by the time it is accurately diagnosed. Pulmonary Hypertension has been historically chronic and incurable with a poor survival rate; however, new treatments are available which have significantly improved prognosis.

To find out more and to help find a cure, please visit the Pulmonary Hypertension Association web site. Thank you for your support.

While I have breath, I have PHenomenal Hope.
