About Me
I was diagnosed with COPD stage 3 on Jan 13, 2010 following a gall bladder surgery days prior. There were no previous indications that I was sick. Three years ago I suffered a cardiac arrest and have a pacemaker/defibrillator implant. Now I have monitor my heart rate closer so I do not set off the defibrillator. I have been on oxygen 24/7. I started walking till it got too hot. South Florida gets humid and hot and hard to breathe. I joined a gym and work out 3x per week 1.5 hours per visit. My new FEV1 as of 6/24/10 was 71%. There is something to be said for exercise. I am lifting weights and just got my reps and weights increased. It is a little more difficult but I can do it. Getting better every day.
