Wolfsister003's story

Worked in ball bearing factories for 41 years - 28 as a tool maker. Smoked for about the same amount. Have emphysema and fibrosis - nothing like a double whammy. Took up stained glass before retiring, only to be stopped by my illness. Unless I can find a way to use a soldering iron while on oxygen.
