Miracles Do Happen

Here it is, 104 DOF and I have had a bona fide miracle happen.  5 years ago, I was diagnosed with mild copd.  It followed me to my cardiologist, the hospital, any and all medical and insurance forms, and everyone agreed; I had copd. I had a doctor's appt this morning to get my spirometer test done.  I NO LONGER HAVE COPD!!!!!!!!!  And my lung function  has improved to the point that I was told  that I have the lungs of a 62 year old. They  were previously that of a 98 year old ( or so I was told).  Lord be praised!

I forgot to mention, they had me take the spirometer test 4 times over a period of 1 and 1/2 hours just to make sure.

Thank you, everyone, for your support.   I celebrated by going swimming; I was able to swim 10 laps (stopping after every lap to catch my breath). I am out of shape.
