Kendall, you're missing the opportunity. You now NEED a bevy of floozies around in case you need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It's a medical necessity! It might even be tax-deductible! You're a lucky man!

Watch the Advair -- it's got a bunch of side effects and possible complications. Doctors prescibe it as a quick fix, but see if you can avoid it.

My father was diagnosed with emphysema in his 50s -- and was finally forced to quit smoking. His doctor told him to take an early medical retirement and enjoy what "little time he had left" -- he lived for another 20+ years.

Not to say that it was easy. He could no longer play the clarinet. (He'd played in dance bands in the Midwest.) He couldn't walk across the living room without having to stop and try to maintain muscle control so he didn't pee his pants. He couldn't really hug and kiss my mother. He was on oxygen for quite awhile and that can be a bit of a tether.

You're older. You haven't smoked for quite awhile. Jacqui's forcing you into a more healthy life cuz she doesn't want to lose you. You'll be okay. Besides, you live close to the ocean in Maine. Couldn't ask for a better place.

Hey:
Consider yourself lucky.
Your doctor has told you that it's "Early Stages".
That's a good thing. There is much you can do to slow the progress.
If your smoking, quit.
If you're living in the shadow of a steel foundry, move.
If not... Great.
Now sing!
Sing at every opportunity.
You can do that.
By the way, C.O.P.D. stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease which is a collective term for the various progressive respiratory ailments such as Bronchitis, Asthma, Emphysema and so on.
So you are C.O.P.D. but in it's early stages.
Be well.

Hey Kendall,,

You know my dad had emphasema and that progressed to COPD -basically he just plain gave up on everything and didn't want to make changes and fight to continue to have a quality life.
Somehow I'm believing that you've got some more kick ass left in you --and if you need more then your lovely lady will provide-- 15 years since my dad passed so I know treatments have continued to improve --do what ya gotta and hang around many more years.

That's sommat Yanks with private health care have over us Canucks. YOU can get a second opinion. Here, if you want a second opinion from a specialist, it takes a year or more for most situations. (It varies across the provinces.) And, you piss off the first doc... who is good friends with the second doc. It makes you feel small, ungrateful and at their mercy.

It's amazing the effect good docs can have on one's health. Last summer I was being bullied by my now former doctor AND, the cardio guy flippantly told me he wanted an echo (something they hadn't had done since heart surgery fours year ago, at the time!)because there "might be some loose stitches around the artificial valve." He said it so casually and I told him he was making me feel anxious to which he said he didn't mean to, even though when I asked if they could fix the stitches without going through the whole stop the heart thing again and he said no. Rog and I walked out of there in complete shock. THEN, good reason set in with lots of advice phone calls to friends including the so-experienced-in-all-things-medical-Spaw, realising if he really thought that were the case, we would have been headed to the hospital asap. The jerk! (Subsequent echo showed NO loose stitches!)

We now have a wonderful primary doctor who heard my sad story and reassured me that there is a lot we can do to keep me going into old age without those kinds of scare tactics/invasive threats. She knows from experience as her father is also a patient of the same cardio. I do still go to the cardio because other than that one time he has been excellent AND he KNOWS he was an idiot as I've basically told him. Still, until we had the new doc in place in Dec. it was a terrible time I hope to never repeat, full of much fear and unknowns.

I guess that's my long way of saying, keep the good care you have now and keep vigilant in advocating for yourself and not taking any shite off of any of them, including our Bad Boy, Spaw.**BG**

My colleague's husband has had it for over 15 years.... but he did not quit smoking until 5 years in. He is on oxygen and is about to be checked into hospital because the CO2 in his bloods is very high. However... he never gets any exercise. Is not interested in slowing the disease with proper life style changes.

So I would say do what the docs say. Get appoint with respiratory therapist if you can, to teach you proper breathing techniques and practice these rigidly, no matter how you feel good or bad.


My thoughts go with you, Kendall. You are made of some pretty stern stuff. You can face this down.

My Father spent the last few years of his life on oxygen and was barely able to walk across a room. My Mother was asthmatic so it's in my genes.

Kendall, you must be snakebit. But at least, this is something that has treatments and with good management, won't slow you down much. I imagine everything else has already taken care of that, so it may not change things much at all.

I'll chime in on the longevity aspects - my aunt was a heavy smoker and developed emphysema that she had for the last couple of decades of her life.

Just adding to everyone else - Mother-in-law had emphysema. Diagnosed very late on in life and smoked right until she was told the news. She gave up strait away and it have her an extra 10 years or more - You have the advantage seeing as you gave up a good while back.

It is a debilitating illness and I can understand the worry but follow Richards advice and you can make sure you are nowhere near as badly affected as some. There will be times when you wonder if they got it wrong and you are perfectly healthy but don't let it fool you - Keep the meds going and make sure you don't take any unecessary risks.

Keep well and maybe we will not stay in a wet caravan drinking spiced rum again but we weil see you over here again:-)
