My Every Day Pain
My pain is everyday but I keep a lot of it to myself. I don’t like to complain about it. People don’t see the pain. They only see what’s on the outside. Inside is where the real pain is.
My daily pain with COPD
I’m 61 yrs. old. I'm on oxygen 24/7 - all the time - even in the shower. I don’t drive, I can’t even walk to bathroom without losing my breath. I have to sit on a bar stool to cook, to do dishes, to feed dogs, to fill dishwasher. 8 meds everyday and then some. I weigh 82 pounds, nothing but skin and bones little by little, no matter what I eat. I have 4 stage COPD. It really showed up after the small cell lung cancer.
