COPD, not OPP.

Yes, it is true.  I was diagnosed with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) a few days ago.  Where was I that I could not tell you?  Awash with narcotics (that made me aloof) and antibiotics (that made me sick).

Did I mention narcotics?

Anyway, they say part of it is because I am so big.  Not just weight-wise either.  (Even though I am a quarter of a ton, and *do* need to lose weight.  I have a *huge* frame my physician exclaimed, “Not to mention an enlarged heart!”

Yay for me!  I have two organs in distress.

Or would that be three since I have two lungs?

Anyway, I am off to inhale my Spiriva, Advair, Albuterol1, and Combivent.

It is also the 4th leading cause of death in America.

Pfft, AIDS ain’t got nuttin’ on me.

I tell you… there is nothing that can compare to breathing like an in labor hippopotamus to a track athlete, be it ever so brief.

Oh, and did I mention narcotics?
