Gratitude

Barbscloud‌. Thank you for thinking of my and checking. I wish I could say things are super OK, but that is not to be.

I have a very hard time breathing these days. I am trying to make it through to the first of next month when I go for the Cancer screening. 

The ARNP that I see for my pulmonary appointments just says that I have "mild" COPD. I think she is full of something myself. I'm beginning to think I need to make her get a Pulmonologist for me again ....

I send my gratitude and thanks to all that worry about me and I will try to write more often.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
