Fantastic !! My blowing was the best in years !! I told him I'd been working out every day and only using my oxygen at night with my bi-pap. Told him I'd quit smoking, and he said,"For good this time?" I answered with a resounding "YES"!! Asked him if my COPD was in remission, and he said "No, but it's under control." Thank God !! He said I'd been doing everything right and boy, was I thankful.
He asked me about my bipolar meds and I told him they were under control. He said that he knew my husband was happy, and I said he was. Dr.Terrence Truitt has been thru a lot with me AND my husband. He was on call 5 years ago in the ER when I was brought in, unconscious, from a suicide attempt. My bipolar meds were NOT under control then, and I was still having 2 alcoholic drinks every afternoon. That's when I quit, and my meds got balanced.
Thank you for being there for me. Tomorrow will be 20 days and the day after will be 3 weeks smoke-free. Had a hard time yesterday. Just wanted to sit down and have a cigarette with my husband. Really scared me but I kept busy and NOT around him.
