I only have my right lung due to two prior surgeries where the left upper lobe was removed at age 19 and the left lower lobe at 40 because of chronic hemoptysis. I am doing real well with one lung.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

about 177 cm (5ft 9.5in?)
about 77 kg (176 lbs? not converting, too much work!)
FEV1 88% (down from 95% about a year or so ago)

An FYI to pass on to lightNlife's explanation about the FEF 75-25%...My doctor was explaining to me last night (the numbers above are fresh) that the FEF25% was indicating the smaller "ducts" in the lungs as not passing as much air, thus a reason for my FEV1 to be low. He didn't concentrate on the FEV1 as much as the FEF numbers, mostly because of what he knew from my CT Scan a month ago.
Not to start on any any debate or anything like that, but because that was the doc's angle of perspective, I wonder if you happen to know different, or are aware of that?
An added point is that the data was based on a computer calculation of what to expect for a normal set of lungs with the same data entered (age, weight, etc.). Granted that he added the data may be calculated based on lungs for Japanese, but that may not be too big of a difference.
Anything calculated by a computer has got to have the plus-minus alpha factor added in!
Last FYI, I just started neb treatments last night, so we'll want to know how they're helping.
