Checking In

I haven’t been posting much lately. I just moved to a new apartment building, same city. I saw my pulmonologist yesterday, and he said I definitely have COPD from smoking cigarettes. It isn’t really bad though. My respiratory walk study came back as “Impaired”, and the doctor thinks I may have a heart problem. They are going to do a heart echo on me Tuesday.

Other than that, everything is fine.

Good luck with the Echo! Are you still smoking cuz COPD is a serious illness?

No, I quit smoking several years ago because I was having problems breathing.

Yay! That’s great news. I also quit 3 years ago. I hope the echo turns out all good.
