What were your co-morbid?
I was on oxygen fulltime, was diabetic, had asthma and had to take breathing treatments several times a day, also had high blood pressure.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
I didn't have any. I Just had a BMI of 47.
