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

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!!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Stop whining.

It’s times like this that I wish Walter Sobchak was still here.

He’d set you straight.

LOL !
