To clarify my illness. I was diagnosed with COPD and its no cure. I was sent to UAB for a double-lung transplant in 2009. I was not a candidate so its a disease that doesn't get better. They said I would possibly live to 2015 at the latest. But they didn't know I was a "Bulldog" and we don't quit or give up. I'm down to 16% lung volume function but the good lord has blessed me. These message boards are very therapeutic to me, especially with OM getting hammered. I asked the man upstairs to spare me the time to see those bastards up north go down.
