Gday Well I got sent off for heaps of tests. First the heart people. No lasting damage my heart that was good! The ear nose and throat mob got a try. They couldn’t find any thing of note and wrote off my slightly raspy voice to the normal effect of aging ( thanks I needed that). Next was respitory. I was really surprised to find the tests had now put me in the normal zone. Lower percentage but normal? The doc explained it bluntly If this was a race your coming last. If your running with the pack your the straggler. So I have to except that I still have COPD. My doses have changed but I still take a puffer. I’ve been encouraged to keep the weight off and the walking regularly. And the smoking warning. Always the smoking warning. Easy to say, yes I know, but really I just shut up and really take that in. I wasn’t unlucky COVID gave me a hard time cause I had smoke damaged lungs, I have COPD. I wasn’t lucky in surviving COVID I’d given myself the best chance being a long term non smoker. Thanks for listening, it’s good just to say this all. Hope it helps someone. It certainly helps me just saying it Chris

NOPE

G’day Mid 2022 COVID finally got me big time. As soon as tested positive I contacted my doc. He organised antivirals and medications. An oxygen reader that went on your finger. Got a call ever morning from the doc and a couple of calls fro the nurses over the day. So I hunkered down at home to ride it out. It’s all a bit hazy now but I remember day 4. I couldn’t breath when lying in bed so I got up to clear my lungs and sat in a lounge chair so I could get a breath. My oxygen was 90 dip below that and I must call an ambulance. Fell asleep and woke next morning my oxygen had got back up. Sleep the next week in that chair untherwise I just could breath. Damn COVID knocked me pretty bad. The effect would last. Took me 7 weeks to get back to work then I could only do a couple of days in a week. Was weak and tired for 6 months. Even though I still walked dayly I had to husband my energy I knocked up pretty fast. It was a painful and scary part of my life. I was really afraid that the COVID had damaged me far more than COPD had. But somehow I healed and got back on my feet
