For anyone who cares..................I do have C.O.P.D. which isn`t good and they re-scheduled my lung cat scan for tomorrow at 1 PM.
That`s all I got except to say thank you to all the guys who`ve been concerned about me via PM......it sincerely means a lot to me.
I`m feeling great actually and I`m remaining optomistic.
-
Are you a smoker?
-
Hope you recover fast, Wes.
Differences aside, youre a valuable Human Being. Take care, Man.
-
Hope you recover fast Wes.
You are one of my favorites here on Getbig.
Get well soon Oh Ancient One.
-
Thanks Joe,I appreciate that bud.
Twaddle,I smoked for many years but I no longer do.
I guess the damage was done.
It never seemed to bother me when training all out but lately I feel great except when I exert myself then I have a bit of trouble breathing.
The doc prescribed a nebulizer today so hopefully that`ll help out.

Thanks for the update. COPD is nothing to sneeze at (pun intended). It is both treatable and manageable. So, that's good news. -Sending out positive thought for a good outcome from your lung CT scan tomorrow. Will you get same day results?
-
Sorry to hear that Wes.My dad got diagnosed with it maybe 10 years ago at 60 and he still lifts and hasn’t really had any issues with it.Said he feels best when exercising.He smoked from 11-60.you are in great shape and I’m sure once you adjust to it and any meds you will feel good again.Take care.
-
I know it’s not ideal mate but I’m Really glad you are ok and it’s not cancer, my father had it also (similar to you he smoked for years but the copd showed up years after he stopped) he still walked For miles up hills when he went shooting And could still put a hard shift in at work with me at 60+ So hopefully it won’t have much of an impact you are tough and a fighter mate I’m just pleased you are going to still be around for a while yet
-
Wes, do you have allergies or asthma? Has your doctor prescribed Advair?

You can manage COPD. Better to have a long chronic issue than a short lethal one. ;D

Dont worry Wes my 92yr old stepfather has had it for years. Not a death sentence.

Sorry to hear it wes, best of wishes for your health.

You guys are a great bunch of people.................. .gertting choked up for Christs sake,
Not really out of the woods until I see whats up after tomorrows lung scan,but as I said,I`l trying hard to remain optomistic.
Thanks again guys,I hope I never have to post similar words in any posts that you guys ever have to put up on getbig.
I`m honestly choked up...........didn`t expect this kindness.......thought I`d be another Derek Anthony with the callous remarks.
You guys are getting soft ! LOL ;D

At least it’s not lung cancer like you are afraid of!

Good luck Wes. I hope the nebulizer helps with the breathing. Feel better brotha!
-
All the best, Wes.

Never, never compare yourself to Derek Anthony again.....you hear?
You posting about getting choked up has choked me up. But then, this happens a lot to me lately. :)
-
Thanks so much guys,I`m telling you I didn`t expect the kind words............just because we as getbiggers are hardcore! LOL ;D
I`ll also tell you,that they are making me feel so much better so thanks once again not to sound like a broken record but at times a thank you is all we got but it doesn`t seem like quite enough.

Stay positive and keep fighting. My mother has had this illness for years now and is in the final stages. You've a lot of time left if you look after yourself. And hurry up with some stories about your time at the strip club!
-
You're gonna make it through this Wes. The way I see it, you're the driver and a winner, things are gonna change, I can feel it.

Pull your head up a couple of inches. ;)

No better way to keep the man motivated!
The way I see it, COPD is fucked to have caught a case of the Wescott.

That's a tough break Wes. Hope in time you will get better.

Wes will prevail, fuck COPD. The guy has a beautiful life story of struggles and victories. And he has everybody's back in here :)
-
WES, We're all looking foreward to good news from you tomorrow.
-
There’s some universities studying the effects of stems on copd patients and are having awesome results, showing great improvements in up to 87% of patients. Obviously being someone who works out you’d be an ideal candidate for a study. On the other hand with the results their getting it should only be a couple of years before it gets mainstreamed for general public.
-
Saddened to hear this Wes.
Stay Strong & Positive
With the Right Treatment & Meds you’ll be Going Strong for another 107yrs
Hopefully you’ll get some Good News Tomorrow
Thinking of You
👍🏻 💪🏻
-
I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally,but to be quite honest,I think I would break down halfway through it so to all of you guys who I consider family..............a true and sincere thanks to each and every one of you.
I never thought I`d get such an outpouring of love on here when it came my time to encounter health issues.................. ................THANK YOU ALL!
I`m not going out like a punk ass bitch, I`m a fighter,but if I lose this bout,just know that I care for you guys as most of us have been here so long I look at you as an extended family...........at times much better than my own blood family who are mostly phony as fuck.
-
If there is a line to piss on this miserable prick’s grave I’m calling “first” !
;D
Just kidding “Wes”, hang in there and best of luck with your health.
P.S. - if you do die, do you mind if we have you stuffed instead of burying you? You’d make a great trophy on Olympia weekend.
-
Wishing you all the best and great health Tim!

RIP my friend
-
I got a legit chuckle out of that one che you fucking crazy fucker! LOL ;D

Best wishes to you, my long-time friend. You're a tough old bird and have been through worse and came out on top.

Thanks brother,I`m optomistic that I can come out unscathed............... .........if not,I`ll deal with it as I have to.
Thanks again brother.
-
Wes, you are and will always be a Getbigger (don't you ever forget it)! They just don't make guys like you anymore.
I always admired your straight up honesty and your sense of humor with a life history, Hollywood couldn't come up with!
Not to mention you are also a very nice person,when not fucked with!! ;D
Always ready to help or give great advice!
Enough sucking dicks her, We all know, you are just going to be fine.
I'm sure it must feel harsh at times but its just another hurdle to take.
Best of luck for your tests!
See ya in the Thunderdome!
-
Wes, if the Civil War didn't get you, there's no way COPD is going to take you out.
-
Thanks,that was very comforting ! LOL ;D
You’re welcome.
And no, you can’t shave my legs, so stop PMing me about it.
LOL.
-
This thread is a perfect example that GetBig are capable of being compassionate (just not for pros!)
Best wishes Wes, hope all turns out okay.

You've lived through far worse things. This shit doesn't have a chance! Good vibes to you Wes!

Are you a smoker?
Just pole . . .

Keep breathing defiance (if you would) and keep kicking ass. Cardio is good to keep the lungs strong as they can be.
My wife's father has it (has an oxygen tank) he smoked for 55 years hard, never exercised in his life. Only needs the tank on occasion (not full time) and he has it pretty bad.
It is manageable for someone in your situation. Was worried about you, but glad it is this , over cancer (if it had to be anything at all). Aging sucks.
I have a nuclear stress test coming up to see what kind of arterial blockage I may have (Doc is talking possible stenting/bypass) but wont know 'til its done.
(Cant choose gene's I guess).
Young guys, dont smoke, do your cardio, if you have a family history of heart disease, go get a Cardiac Calcium Score Test done, could save you...
-
Just woke up and don`t have the words to express how much this outpouring of compasssion means to me.
Breaking up a bit so I`ll respond later when I`m not looking through tear filled eyes.
Thanks guys.
Powerlifter66,I hope it all works out for you buddy.
PS-gotta tell you about my familys reaction...........in a word...................n othing.
-
Get well soon ironbrother.

Felt like playing some music that suited my mood...........all I`d have needed back in the day would be 2- 30 packs of Bud and two quarts of Tequila and some pissed off neighbors and a few cops who don``t appreciate the blues. :D 8)

Alright done with the pity pot music but nothing soothes my soul like the blues.............except Jack Daniels,Tequila,Gin,Vodka,etc. etc.........but the the cops seen to develop a genuine disdain for me ! LOL ;D

Fuck it one more at 5:32 in the AM

There’s nowt wrong with being emotional in fact the opposite
You’re a fully functioning human - Let the Emotions Out.
That is very saddening to read that you’re family haven’t come out in support
Or offering any Positivity.

I`ve got 2 sisters.....neither one has called me and the rest of my family is scattered to the four corners of the world.
Just me,my wife,dogs,cats and my fish and my getbig family...............all I need anyway I guess, but it would have been nice to hear from my sisters.
It is what it is I guess.

Friends come and go (not real friends, you have real friends forever, even after not seeing eachother for 20+ years, a real friend will always still be your friend), but we will always be here for you on Getbig, for as long as we live.

Nice try, Wes-thuselah, but your attempt to slowly bow out of this now weary bodybuilder identity (which you've had since fighting to stave off catabolism at the 1916 Battle of Verdun – pictorial evidence below) to slowly assume a newer and fresher 100-year persona battling the iron, is as plain as day. The Second Coming is not at hand, old bean, and endure you must in the eternal Circus Maximus of Muscle.

It’s times like this that I wish Walter Sobchak was still here.
He’d set you straight.

Family (other than your immediate one) is often the last group to give a shit about your condition, lol. When I was in the hospital for a week the only people who contacted me outside my kids and wife were my friends I've know for 5 years!

I mentioned previously that there are a lot of false positives with lung CT's. If something shows up stay cool and wait for biopsy results.
Stay strong!
\
Just another fork in the road..
-
Some of you fuckers are too funny.
I went and had the lung CT scan......just got back a few minutes ago actually.
Should know more when they get the info to my doctor and she gets it to me.
Thanks for all the positive vibes guys !!
-
Wes, I have sent SF1900 to give you some flowers and a hug. If he hugs you too long, to the point where you get uncomfortable, then just give him a light slap across the face. :)

I’m going to show up in a bunny costume to Wes’ front door.

Is it on loan or did you buy it? ...New or used? Does it have a fluffy bunny tail? ;D

Best wishes wes, hope it all goes well

You're a great guy, Tim, so it pains me to hear you're having any issues whatsoever :(

Thanks again people..........you`re the best !

You will beat this man!
For motivation, a pic from one of your earlier contests:

If you could go back in time would you take finasteride and bathe your scalp in minoxidil, and nizoral?
-
What type would you prefer I wear?
I think you'd look good in a white bunny suit. One with the tail in place. ;D Or dressed as a male playboy bunny.
