..and emphysema was mentioned because my mom had it. I am so bummed, and after I shared this with my sister I am living with, she went out to smoke a cigarette, lol! So I just can't talk to her about how I feel. I just see her as beyond stupid at this point. I'll be honest in telling you it doesn't seem fair either that I'm the one to possibly have lung problems. I smoked a little in my teens, but I grew up in a house full of smoke, had asthma, but it went away in my teens. I'm just angry. I don't want anyone else to get sick, I just planned so many things and now it seems they are all going to be impossible.
I know these are only tests they are going to run, some "nuclear" thing he called it, and then that breathing tube thing where you blow. Some people here know how active I was, and I think I will want to die if I can't do my hikes and kayak. Well, things happen for a reason right.
I know people here deal with much worse, I am sorry to whine, I just needed to talk and sadly, this is all I have right now. The doc gave me anti-depressants which I hate, but he kept encouraging me to try for 6 weeks, I usually won't take them more then a few days because I hate the way they make me feel. But I need to trust him, I don't have anything or anyone else.
