Kay, So sorry to hear the news from the doc. I agree with Melody do those breathing exercises. With Kevin, test may be better than it would have been right after quitting. Yep and get back on track working out.

I have been doing the deep breathing.....sucking in until I can't and slowly letting it out...the last time I remember doing this type of breathing, we were trying to faint in elementary school...
The doctor told me he would use the inhaler everyday but never mentioned any exercises....makes me think I am not as bad as he wants me to think....after all, he is the one who scared the heck out of me by putting cocaine up my nose..... now this is the man who says No Alcohol, No Smoking etc and then he uses cocaine to dialate my nasal passage????

UPDATE:
Doctor called Friday afternoon and said my white bloodcount was back to normal and all the rest of the bloodwork was normal....so even with the drop in lung function over 9 years, I am still in good shape....still so worth the freedom of not smoking....
