Missing out hi

Hi I'm Jill and I have stage 4 COPD I jumped pretty fast from 3 to 4 and find I can't do the things I have done a year ago. Digging in the garden, watering, walking the same distance going to visit people, my inogen is not doing a good job anymore. I had to have a nurse put me on a tank when I got to Dr a few steps and I was at 79 oxygen put me on the tank and got to 97. I really don't want to get pulled behind but I don't think I have a choice can still do dishes and cook dinner but that's about it.
