Hopeless
I don't maintain hope. I just muddle along. I go through hopeful periods and then I am slammed with an exacerbation. Nothing can be done except to take my meds. I guess I have given up on hope. I just muddle along and pray a lot.
Hi gramma4 - nice to see you here posting again. Last time we had a conversation was earlier in the springtime and several, even, before that! Welcome back!
Perhaps the hope you feel you don't have any longer, is buried down in there with your 'muddling' along style. What do you think?
After all, an exacerbation can knock anyone for a loop - the key is to know tomorrow is another day!
If there is anything we can do to assist you, please let me or any other moderator / team member know!
All the best,

Hi again, Gramma - after reading your post and responding, I noticed that one of our community members,, posted a story of his about 'hope' which, I thought might be of interest to you as well.
For your convenience, here is a link to that post: https://copd.net/stories/hope-defined.
I do hope you find the material to be helpful in a practical way.
Warmly,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)
