your condition is quite advanced. i'd say you've lost some 60 percent of your lung tissue. maybe more. two years, two days, hard to say. if you have any chance, it's to stop now-smoking, drinking, gambling, night-life. you must have a healthy diet and most importantly, you must have complete rest-meaning you must attempt to deny your marital impulse. sorry but i'm afraid you've no choice. i'm afraid your husband's been very badly hurt. i had to remove the entire left elbow joint. what that means is, well i'm afraid- hold him. i said hold him, god damn it!
