I had an incredible day.....
When I quit smoking in February my pneumonia was so bad that my doc didn't want to do lung function tests at that point. She did tests in April and wanted to do additional testing at six months smoke free.....well today was the day.....
I do not have COPD, which shocked my doc and thrilled me. My lung functioning has improved by 14% since April......I'm a mere 7% away from normal.....and I'm so thankful I can't even put it into words. I feel like the Bionic Woman and believe the Universe gave me a gift today.....for which I will be forever grateful.
Again, as I often say on here, this board and all of you caring giving people have helped me get well.....heck not just well, but actually pretty healthy for an old gal.....I know I would not be smober without this board, and so for all of you I am also grateful......
So thanks, all.....I'm a happy woman tonight.
