Boatman Bob

I'm a 92-year-old mechanical engineer and a sailor of big and small boats. When I got too old I switched to antique model sail boats, both sailing and restoring.

I have been fit all of my life and recently went from a weight of 198 to 167 after a divorce. Then, I began to cough up heavy phlegm and had shortness of breath. Next, my lungs filled with liquid, and I ended up in the hospital.

I was given Lasix and passed three or four urinals in a few hours and lost ten pounds. I'm much better, and I can walk 2000 steps with no problem except shortness of breath and coughing still in background.
