Oddly, I go in the morning for cardiac surgery, either a stent where the blockage to my right aorta is or a fem fem bypass from left to right that leaves the blockage if unable to through the blockage. I'm hoping for the successful stent. I will keep my right leg either way.

o-dawg, copd I am familiar with too, having 53% lung/oxygen overall absorption. The lungs are known as "the seat of sorrows", however...below in my signature, CFT's quote on bitterness vs joy ... tactically explains the healing process ...to let go...[though I cannot lie that lately in my life I've been an astronomically bitter azzhole]...and I have joys as well.

I still smoke 2+ packs/day because I'm an addicted crazy idiot, and of course ...it keeps a few others still yet breathing.

so - so
