went to the docs today for my monthly check up and my FEV (Forced Expiratory Volume) is in the normal range 80% . So now they say the amount of O2 i intake is normal , while my FEV1 the amount of air i push out from the smaller airway like the avoli are 62.5% thats in the good catigory … So i guess im half normal , knowing that please dont expect me to recite Shakespeare , or Aristotle because im only half normal instead i may quote Bill & Ted or possibly Cheech and Chong
With your FEV1 at under 80%, do you need a bronchodilator if you’re going to exercise?

i dont need a diolater because i have no swelling or constriction . The score is about average for a lung TX paitient my docs say, some CFers get 120% but they are in the minority . It may be from the lungs were dead for so long , i got the call at midnight and didnt hit the OR till 9am that morning . They do encourage me to get out of breath since you breath with the deeper parts of the lung ..my exercise right now is running up and down the satirs to tend to the baby . When she gets a touch older im going to dust off the bike and ride with her in a side car thingy
But heck ill take 62.5% over 14% any day 🙂
Congrats! That’s great news! As for the Shakespeare, you could try the Keanu Reeves role in “Much Ado About Nothing”. As I recall, it wasn’t much of a speaking part 😀

Bill: Okay, Ted, George Washington. One: the father of our country.
Ted: Two: born on President’s Day.
Bill: Three: the dollar bill guy.
Ted: Bill, you ever made a mushroom out of his head? It’s like, just like…
Bill: Ted. Alaska.
Ted: Okay. Um… Had wooden teeth, chased Moby Dick.
Bill: That’s Captain Ahab, dude.
Normal? How did they come up with normal? LOL! You are so not normal!
I am glad your lung function is still pretty good. Is it likely to get better over time?

Oh absolutely! I can’t even imagine a 14% lung function, I take my breathing so much for granted. Slowly suffocating like that had to be scary as hell, so glad it isn’t like that for you anymore.
