Celebrations today!!

87 today;

Yesterday I had my annual review at the surgery.

After 9 years of kicking and screaming they have agreed I don't have COPD! With the following message in my records:-

"Coded entry Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease resolved (Xabwy)" and

"Coded entry Asthma - currently dormant (XaDvL)"!

I almost feel like a new man!

Some interesting thoughts!

I live very close to GCHQ and in 1964 went to work in the Soviet Union, several of my neighbours thought I was a spy and stopped talking to my family!

Thanks for the kind thoughts - my Grandmother just missed her 100th by a few weeks.

Regards Pete

No CT scan but fortunately the local respiratory team intervened and took over my treatment for life long Atopic Asthma, mainly Symbicort.

The local surgery just refused to change the wrong diagnosis until yesterday!

Wow Pete double congratulations and celebrations are in order cheers :D

With excitement. Delighted for you.

Congratulations on all accounts!

So we will be the same age for the next two weeks, Pete, when I'll be upgraded to 88. I doubt that my news will be as good as your's. I'm hoping to be first on the list for a full body transplant but I fear time is running out.🤷‍♂ Hope you had a great day.🎈

My wife keeps saying she feels like a new man - at 83 I do my best - but, me with ? Asthma and she with breast cancer - we make a fine pair.

But got to soldier on......

I will not be leaving the forum with so many fine friends!

I also need to find some more information about NAID (Non Anaemic Iron Deficiency) which I now have.

Taking as many Iron Pills as my old body will allow, but can't have a repeat ferritin test until 30th December.

Many thanks Pete

Happy birthday. Seems you have received a very nice birthday present finding out you don’t have COPD, or at least getting your records corrected.

Belated Birthday greetings to you Peter. I noticed your reply with links to read. One was an advice or suggestions I replied to your post four years ago. I did not however, continue to read or reply any post and all emails were diverted to my spam folder automatically. Until recently and as explain, in yesterday's post. I am certain you will go beyond life's average age for men as researchers identified.
