I know how you feel. I plan my day every morning or sometimes I plan the next at night while falling asleep. I plan around the weather, around errands needing to get done, around my part time job, around house chores, around when to exercise and doing my breathing exercises, pretty much every aspect of life is planned around my breathing. It is just the way it is now. This is how my life has changed. I don't particularly like it, but I am learning to adapt. I really don't have a choice, so I don't fret about it, I just do what I need to do to get through the day and what I need to do to stay as healthy as possible. Thinking about not making it through the day is not part of my process. I think as positively as possible at all times. It isn't easy, but I couldn't live being negative all the time. So, stay as positive as possible Doggy. I try to get a little better at things every day. So far it seems to be working. I feel better now than I did yesterday. I plan to feel better tomorrow than I did today. Attitude is 90% of life. Keep your chin up Doggy. God Bless!
