Yay!
As mentioned previously, I had to go in for a long over due looksee at the lungs recently. If you haven’t been here awhile here’s the short version: I found out, quite by accident, a couple of years ago that I am in the beginning stages of emphysema. Mmmm… yummy.
For quite a while, I had continued to not smoke and exercise, but stress earlier this year pushed me over the edge and I found myself lighting up more often than not. With my move over the summer, I found myself having trouble catching my breath a bit more frequently than in the past. After a bit of procrastination, I made an appointment with my doctor and we scheduled an afternoon of fun and excitement at the local imaging center.
This morning I arrived at work to see my voice mail light dutifully blinking at me (yes, sadly, even the devil’s daughter is oft times forced to maintain a semblance of normalcy and have a job.) The good news is that there has been no change in my lungs since my last scan. And as long as I can keep that up, I’ll be around to rant and rave for centuries to come.
