Exactly, the biggest distress is that none of the people left in my circle have grown up with the same conditions we did and just a few years difference make them residents of another planet. I tried joining the senior citizens group in my town and gave it up. I have enough ailments of my own and didn't need to listen to the constant litany of aches, pains and bad doctor stories.


LOL my friends and I always said we wouldn't be that!! We all try not to, but sometimes we slip. Probably what's mostly kept me away from doctors for the past 20 years

Same here with smoking, I quit when I turned 50, thanks for your concern, we share a similar boat!

Yep. 50 + years of smoking messed with my lungs, too. Im sure i would be dust by now if i hadn't quit. Can't do what I want but make myself do more than I should. Walking, cleaning, carrying stuff is pretty hilarious, step, step, huff, puff, repeat. Sit down, wait for spots in front of eyes to go away and heart to stop pounding. I take my daughter's asthma meds to keep going but am finally gonna go see a doc after the first of the year. Maybe they have some new miracle drug. A doctor told my oldest daughter about 20 years ago that I was the most stubborn woman he ever met after I had to go to the ER for an unrelated issue. LOL. But in all seriousness, these severe breathing problems affect every bit of life. If i could do something to make it significantly better i would. Im sorry if you suffer with this

Yeah, being the stubborn dolt I am I was 65...after a bout with pneumonia. I still sometimes think about smoking, tho I don't dare, because I would start again. Ya know, the "Just one" thing. But it does help to keep pushing yourself and drinking lots of water, cuz believe it or not I am improving in very sloooow increments. I know I'll never be as I should be, but each new little improvement is encouraging. Take care, Bill
