WOW
That's pretty much it in a nutshell - WOW!!
Yesterday was my Dr. Visit set up 'by the State' after inhaling toxic chemicals at work in May. The Dr., a Pulmonary and Critical Medicine Specialist was great.
My blood pressure - good
pulse - good
no wheezing, no lung congestion
x-rays show clear & healthy lungs.
AND
the best part was the funny little breathalizer type tube I had to blow into. Nose plugged and blowing as hard as you can, you continue to exhale for at least 6 seconds.
Normal/healthy range is 80-120
When he told me my result was '105' my immediate response was WOW - after 30 years smoking 1.5 packs a day!
His reply - " you must not have inhaled".
Once the exam was complete I pulled out my ScrewDriver. With his permission, I explained how it works and felt a little stupid when I realized I did not have to 'convince' him that vapor is not the same as smoke.
(what a refreshing change from talking to long time smokers who insist it is
)
His first comments were 'you can use that anywhere!' At work, in the hospital - and as he put it - "no smoke... just water vapor". We talked about PG - the FDA - and the importance of each user monitoring their usage of a P/V.
I was excited to be able to send him to the page on my website with links to more information organized and easy to find - so he could begin researching for himself.
Who'd a thunk getting hurt at work could end up potentially helping so many other people.
Dang - I wish I would have thought to have him write me a 'note'/permission slip. It would be great to have something actually signed by a Doctor
At 51 - and after so many .... logs - I am celebrating that my signature line is true!
30 Years of smoking.....
Vaporized.... by my ScrewDriver!
