About Myself
I am 58 years old and have COPD. I was told 2 years ago. I have real shortness of breath all the time. Making my bed is a challenge, washing up too. Any physical stuff - going to the grocery store is a really big challenge. My son helps me with that all the time. I don't need oxygen - it does help me yet I have a hard time dealing with my anxiety. My whole life just changed from underneath me.
I feel tired all the time, I don't want to do nothing but I know I have to. I was going to pulmonary rehab help for a while. I gave up because I felt too tired to keep going. I was a smoker for 40 years. I don't smoke anymore. Now I have to pay the price for a pack of cigarettes, but I will pray for all of us and God bless everybody.
