Wonderful news

We had some great news this week.  After all the testing,  the specialist in Kingston said I don't have emphysema, but I do have adult onset asthma.  Considering I smoked for 47 years, I'm very lucky to have ended up with a very treatable condition.  In fact the doctor asked if I would be interested in joining a study they have planned of long time smokers like myself who beat the odds of developing a serious lung condition.

I really have to chuckle to myself though.  Here I have what I thought was a young person's disease, asthma, and an old person's disease, dementia.  Go figure eh?
