It’s nice to go the doctor and get relatively good news once in a while. Mine thought I might have developed asthma, and I still may have, albeit in a rather minor and easily manageable way. Asthma is a sporadic thing, and its symptoms come and go. But the good news was that I passed a lung function test. With flying colors, even. The doctor said my lung function and chest x-ray are pretty much normal, as if I’d never smoked a cigarette in my life. Thus, I should be spared that emphysema I’d been worried about…
I will close by taking this opportunity to say that if you quit smoking, your life will suck for quite a while. After that, though, you will be very happy that you did it. That is as close to a nag as I care to get, thanks…
Now if I could just lose, oh, fifty pounds or so…
