If I think of what I could take in - of how deep a breath I could take when I was in JR HS. and assign that a level of 100%, I figure when I took myself to the ER in April? It was like 10%. Or less.

BUT....

Now....10 months with no smoking? using the medications prescribed, I'm easily at 50% and slowly improving. My pulmonologist and other clinicians have told me I can never expect anything close to 100%. That damage is done, but I can easily expect 60%.

So I don't feel all is lost, don't get me wrong. But clearly I have limited this mechanisms longevity!

I've got a couple CFP's in my orbit and I'll be sure to crunch the numbers before I apply, absolutely.

Again, thanks for your input and concern. I appreciate it.
