The combination of Sarcoidosis and Covid proved too much for Wade Tomlinson.  His lungs were wracked with damage from sarcoidosis.  So when he got covid it was the punch his body couldn't handle and he needed to take drastic action.  Wade got on several waiting lists for a lung transplant and then waited for the call.  In episode 121 of the FSr Sarc Fighter Podcast, Wade recounts the moment the call came in and the series of events that led to him becoming a recipient.  Let's just say it wasn't clear-cut.  Listen in as Wade tell his story and brings up to date on how he is feeling six months after his surgery.
