This is the third time I have typed this post,why do they disappear so easily? Anyway,hope you are all as healthy as you can be!Christmas/Boxing day I was throwing up then 10 days then a week later same.Had blood tests etc,nothing.Turns out I should be taking my statins in the evening not the morning although it doesn't say so in the wee bumph notes.While hardly eating anything at all I couldn't figure out why I did,not lose any weight.At the Brompton to day the first thing the chap said was " you have very large lungs because of the bubbling".Discussing LVRS seems I am a prime candidate for this procedure all the numbers point to it being the best next step.Looking at the end of March,quicker than I expected for a few more tests,CT and stuff then the Opp.They might remove the whole upper lobe as it is useless.Also appointment for left eye cataracts 11th Feb.Busy old time ,keep me out of trouble lol.It,s good to post something positive,If there,s hope for me there's hope for all of us.Happy times.D. Ps. Walter does,not do the numbers lol. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘€

Glad to hear from you. I'd been wondering how you were. Good news about the LVRS.

If they're prepared to do it for an old reprobate (another word for Malcolm to look up) like you then they'll do it for us all.

Love and hugs

You can save your post after every couple of lines if you want especially if the site is a bit flakey. Highlight the area, click Ctrl and C together. You can do this any number of times you want. If you lose it then just click Ctrl and V together and it reprints it from the memory. x

Things certainly seem to be looking up for you, D. Not before time though. I remember how despondent you've been in the past. May this be the start of good times for you.
