Hey Gang,
Sorry I haven't been around contributing lately. I took off a week to go look at a boat. Bought it. We're re-powering it and are heading to the Abacos for approx. 3 weeks. Yippee! I am very happy about that, don't get me wrong. I am a little worried though about Nippers Sunday BBQ. Lots of folks are going to be smoking there. I think this will be my first real heavy exposure to people appearing to have a good time w/ smoking. I am taking favorite quotes and posts w/ me and the Carr book. Think I'll also take hard candy mints. I also bought a relaxation CD. Any other suggestions will be appreciated cause I do plan on having some beers.
At my appointment w/ the Doc. He said things actually looked pretty good. Emphysema is still diagnosed but as a very mild case. I am tall for a woman so he feels the pulmonary physician miscalculated my lung size. He thinks that my oxygen absortion rate is better that what was indicated by my results. Overall they looked really good. So, I'll do the whole thing over again in a year. I guess he (the Doc) is not much of a phone person. Anyway, he is not concerned by my results....especially if I do not start smoking again.
Thought I forward the results of my consultation just in case anyone was interested. I really, really thank everyone for standing by and being here for me when the occasional shoulder was/is needed! The quitters here are the BEST!
I'll check in when I can. I'll be gone for most of July! Let's keep on keeping the quit!
Chow Mon!
