Re: Oxygen anyone?

I was just going to ask the same question Jay did - you're right, 30 years
of smoking will do it to you, although that doesn't make life any happier
when it catches up to you.

I haven't had a PFT in years - last one gave the doctor conniption fits, but
since I never was interested in running marathons, I can't say my reduced
lung capacity interferes with my life.  Hopefully it will stay that way.
(After all, if the sat is only bad during exercise, just skip the exercise
class and use the time to eat another doughnut with your coffee <grin>.
