    Update...

    Just a health update from Across the Pond. I was feeling worse the past month or so and scheduled another pulmonary function test a week ago. All the measures were down pretty much. Saw my pulmonologist later that day and he was quite surprised by the decline. He set me up with the Home Hospice department, which will have a nurse visit me weekly at the start. Although my doc guesstimates 3-6 months, I’ve been known to beat his odds! Actually, been feeling pretty good this past week, though I’ve been taking supplemental oxygen 24/7 lately.

    You're a fighter that's for sure! Hopefully you keep on feeling better and staying chipper.

    I was having a slightly gloomy morning (I can't help it, I'm a dour Northerner) but your incredibly positive message just cheered me and pointed out that I'm taking myself and my comparatively trivial problems way too seriously.

    Thank you. And - obviously - I'm rooting for you.

    Even though we have never met in person - your personality and influence has always been a positive for the forum.

    Thanks, and keep your pecker up.

    I agree with this 100%. We can all focus too much on the trivial stuff and I’m as bad as anyone.I’ve always found you to be an inspirational person Tom and now even more so. Keep going fella

    All the best Tom.

    My Dad defied the odds and lived much longer than the doctors thought he would, keep focusing on the people you love and the things you enjoy.

    Keep fighting.
