Hi I'm a 58 year old female. I have stage 4. COPD. I have a hard time with doing just about everything. I had a car accident in February of this year - as of now I don't have a car anymore. With this COVID-19 going on I am a prisoner in my house so I'm very sad. Also lost my husband 5 years ago...

Hi again, Patti4fred, and thanks for sharing you story here with the community. I remember talking with you earlier today in another section of our <a href='https://copd.net' target='_blank'>COPD.net</a> platform. For your convenience, here is the link to our conversation from earlier today: <a href='https://copd.net/members/patti4fred/activity/76196/#acomment-76226' target='_blank'>https://copd.net/members/patti4fred/activity/76196/#acomment-76226</a>. I'm sorry to hear that you no longer have transportation based on the accident you had earlier in the year. Do you have friends/family who can provide you with some help as to getting around? Please know you are always welcome here in our online community! Wishing you well, Leon (site moderator <a href='https://copd.net' target='_blank'>COPD.net</a>)

So sorry for you

So sorry - I have stage 4 copd also and cannot do much of anything. I lost my husband in 2010 and miss him everyday. He was my best friend. This COVID-19 has made it impossible for my daughter to come visit me for a few days each month - I am in California and she is in Nevada. I am hoping to go back to Nevada by the end of the year.

 Hi melltell - It certainly sounds like you can empathize with Patti4fred's story. I'm so sorry about your husband as well. It's so difficult to lose our mates; and harder yet when other family cannot be there for us. I hope you're able to get back to Nevada to be closer to your daughter. I'm sure she would like that as well. Please keep us posted. Warmly, Lyn (site moderator)
