Take it easy with that Bronchitis, Doc - it can lead to Pneumonia if you don't give the medicine time to work. I am saddened to hear of your chronic emphysema; my Dad is suffering from it as well. He was a heavy smoker for 30+ years, had 2 heart attacks, surgeries, etc. He uses oxygen now and I fear he is going into COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). He tries to stay tough, but gets worn out doing little things like taking out the garbage or walking to the mailbox. It really slows him down. Have you been checked out for possible asbestosis? As an auto mechanic working with brakes when the industry used asbestos linings and parts may be linked (smoking increases your chances of acquiring it 10x). Good luck working INSIDE (and be careful if using glues containing toluene or benzene = NOT GOOD)! -Lu- --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "amc74hornet" <amc74hornet@xxxx> wrote: > Thanks for the kind words and prayres because they must have done some good for me.
