You have all our love and more, Kendall. From related heart *things* I was on O2 for eight years and twice since heart surgery due to pneumonia. Had to use nebulisers and inhalers. Do please use them if and when necessary. Trying to tough it out and not is counter-productive and serves no purpose, I know, from experience. It can be a pain in the arse, but it beats the alternative.

May it be w-a-y down the road, but I do know of a woman, a massage therapist, very good one, too, who had a lung transplant. She has done very well for years and years and was no spring chicken when she had the procedure.

Remember, you are a "child" of the Great Spirit and nothing is impossible, darlin'.
