OK, so I'm a lousy speller---but today, I don't much care. I've got at least another 10 years of life ahead of me!
HOO-RAW! HOO-RAW!
I received a call from my doctor today, telling me my X-rays came out normal--that the "shadow" they had seen on the earlier one, was just an "anomally"!
I almost fell out of my chair with relief!
Having smoked for 42 years, then quit for 22 more, I knew better than to believe the old doctor's tale about "after 10 years, you're chances of lung cancer are about equal to a person who has never smoked!"
To paraphrase an old King Cole song, "Y'er story's so touchin' but it sounds jus' lak a lie!"
Once you've damaged your lungs, they STAY damaged and you have to hope the tar that dwells in your lungs, inside those enveloping scars, doesn't blossom forth into monstrous cancer cells!
--And you'll note the doctor's never say your lungs "return to normal"--just your chances are ABOUT equal!
So I escape once again, the shady demon from hell--who will get me next time around for having emphysema, instead!
Well, you have to have SOME kind of punishment for being stupid, don't you?

Sweet Jesus-you smoked for 42 years!!. You're something else, must be some good genes or something on your side.
