Patient sidelined by lung transplant hopes to continue traveling the world
IU Health Methodist Hospital
Richard Montague spent his early retirement years traveling the world with his wife. A day before they were to head out on another adventure, Rich, who has pulmonary fibrosis, started having a hard time breathing. "I went to bed and I told my wife, Becky, I said I’m sorry, but we’re not going. I’m canceling the plane. I’m canceling the whole thing... I just can't seem to catch my breath. Thank God my wife then called my daughter and the two of them called an ambulance," said Rich who underwent a double lung transplant days later.
