Question: Take a balloon and put it in a 4 liter bottle and inflate it. Then put the balloon in a 2 liter or smaller bottle and inflate it. That is the way my lungs feel anymore when I try to inhale. Not sure if its stress, inflammation or what that is causing that. I just seem to get about half of what I used to get.

Since you told me to trust the PFT, YOU and LOCAL Pulmonologist along with my psychiatrist for no lung disease, you have to explain the effects of aging or anything else that causes this.

Yes this is open. Yes it is great I am going home.

I have decided that starting today, I will try something new to improve my health.

1. Whether I do or do not, I will mentally accept that i have age changes going on in my lungs, Not big changes but very subtle ones, ones that i have some notice of.
2. That i need to reduce the stress/worry/fright of my lungs getting worse on my breathing. I have noticed that after I talk in the office of the local pulminologist and some of our stern comments, my chest muscles and the tightness around my lungs eases up,and breathing comes easier and an increase in depth of inhale. when that goes away after a few days, I attribute it to the Stress and Anxiety.
3. That I need to get away from everything I have in this area of US that I am living. This includes current wife, current job, current band. I need to get back to Sioux Falls, there I have many places to go to, friends to see, musicians to get together with. This would be more helpful than to have nothing of help.

I'll come up with more later but for now this is it. When I go home over the weekend, i will have company but I have some housework, unpacking of things I am moving, cleaning and fixing. But I must get time in hot tub. for all of Saturday night. and Sleep late.

Oh I hope the Job interview is schedule for saturday.

AND I WANT TO Play my BASS GUITAR in the HOUSE and not have to worry I am disturbing someone.

FAMILY TO SEE TOO

I want to find a support group here and one up there. Just so I can complain of my health ha ha, Actually I may find my health is much better than the others that attend and i should not feel like I am in the worst health ever.

Hot tub, first of all, i meant to ask your thoughts. It has to be kept clean of bacteria and harmful microbes. I need to maintain the PH Level, I keep it clean of Mold and Mildew under the cover. And last I must kill bacteria, I do NOT use
Chlorine, I use Bromide, I am wondering if used correctly, does bromide or BROM, hurt or damage the lungs when breathing the steam vapors.

7 years ago, I built a supporting cedar deck to hold the tub. It was placed in my back yard, adjoining the back of my car garage. the back of the car garage has a good sized window, I go out to the Hot tub, open the cover, go in the garage and open the window, and in the garage behind the window is a large flat screen tv that I can stream movies and shows and music. I sit in tub and enjoy TV with cold drink - water-soda-etc.

OH, YOUR bollywood MOVIES, they are not available in USA except in big cities like NEW YORK city, XXXXXXX Florida, Los Angelas California Etc. I need to find them some way, If you know of anystreaming or other idea or if they are sold for dvd player, let me know I would really like to see a few to see what they are like.

I use You tube alot, in fact the tv at the hot tub is set up to bring in You tube, Netflix, Roku, Hulu, etc.

My hot tub time is usualy 60-90 minutes unless I have a movie then 120 minutes

Well if I start drinking when the movie begins, I will get drunk during the movie and I will make up my own lines to figure out a plot.

You never said they were in HINDI, I guess I turn the volume off and just watch what happens. Maybe I can get closed caption in english.

Whats one of the best bollywood movie titles

I told you a week ago that I have 1 beer ever couple months, I do not drink much at all.

How soon you forget,

As I get older, i drink less beer, but I can drink more Bourbon and Sour mix for a tasty sour drink.

Beer. When I was 20 I would drink around a 12 cans and would stop, never reached the pass out stage

Today, I would estimate I could only drink 4-5 and that would be my limit. I still would stop before I pass out.

BUT I only have one and its once in a while. When I was in 20's I would go out a couple days a week.

Bourbon is a naughty hard liquor. Whiskey is bourbon.

I stopped drinking about 20 years ago, I have a drink once in awhile but usually just one.

The only time that changes is if I am playing in a band for a long night, I may have 2-3 beers for the long night. But i am not playing bars lately
