Thought I'd share this here, since I dumped so much the other day. Thanks again for your support.. :>) I went to the lung specialist yesterday. He still wants to do the tests for asthma, but, he was very VERY pleased about how my lungs were sounding! :dance6: I spoke about my limited breath while singing. Asked if it was smoking damage from 36 years of smoking -- now quit One year, two months, one week, one day, 13 hours, 16 minutes and 0 seconds. That's 17382 cigarettes not smoked, saving $4,780.08. Life saved: 8 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 30 minutes. :approve: He said we'll see with the results of the test if I just had a hum - dinger of a viral infection which is almost gone, or if I have asthma tendencies which need to be treated. I gotta tell ya, since my doctor's assistant said it *may* be cancer that I was dealing with, this has been a REAL relief! LOL! Can we say understatement? LOL! Anyway, thanks for listening to my fears the other day, and for sharing my joys tonight! :grouphug: Shalom!
