how are you adjusting to the new normal?
How are you adjusting to the new normal? What's the new normal like in your place?
I'm still trying to find out what's normal don't know?
Hi Zazoopits, and thanks for your response. You make a good point! I would say the new 'normal' must vary from person to person and location to location, too.
Wishing you well,

Good question, GlaceSoundRacer - thanks for posting it. It will be very interesting to see how everyone answers this.
How are YOU adjusting?
All the best,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)My life in general has changed very little except I phone in grocery requests instead of having a friend get them. My sons live a long distance away so visits were very infrequent and I, because of limited mobility, kept in touch with friends by either phone or messaging. However I don’t really like the feeling of being restricted.
My new normal changes constantly depending on my COPD and emphasemia conditions. Covid has certainly changed everything. I try to do what is right and healthy for me and my family. Ask ques., research and stay in touch with others in simular situation. The isloation is hard. I'm a hugger and I miss the human touch and get togethers. I use FB alot and have gotten involved in other COPD groups. Try to stay strong and positive and when I can't use coping skills or reach out to family and friends. Counciling has helped. Being my own advocate helps me feel more in control of treatments and my conditions. It's been a challenge.
