COPD & Emphysema Support Group

I havent tried it yet but it has come up three times in the last three days so i guess i am getting a msg from somewhere. Lucky i am deaf but i dont know how my poor little doggie is going to cope. Looking forward to trying something happy....hugs oz

haven't tried it, but I've heard it helps get the old stale air out. Also blowing up balloons.
Hugs, Sue

i tried the harmonica. I even got a book for beginners.Warning! only do it when you are alone. When I pick up the harmonica my husband disappears. I think it does help though to get some of the stale air out.
Hugs,
Nellie

Would a kazoo accomplish the same purpose?

We could form a harmonica band and call ourselves the COPDERS.Lol

Hugs Ellen.

I think anything that you have to blow through would work. Our down-under friends will get a kick out of this. I have a didgeridoo sitting in the corner in my living room, and I can't get up the courage to give it a good blow. Besides, you can probably hear it down the block! But it would work, too.

Most of all, have fun!
Hugs, Sue

sue, What is a didgeridoo?
I have never heard of it.
Hugs,

Hi Nellie,
Here is a didgeridoo.

What great ideas everyone has, a lot more imiginative than pursed-lip breating all the time.

I can just see Sue playing that thing. I can't stop giggling after checking out youtube.

Good thing it is so small. I stuck it in my grass skirt and am taking it to Tahiti! Hugs, Laurie

My didge is only about 5 feet long. I never really could get the hang of it. We had a didgeridoo workshop (imagine that!) in our town a few years ago, and in a moment of sheer insanity, I bought one. But to me that is THE sound of Australia. Very cool.

See, we all learn something every day here! Isn't that neat?
Hugs, Sue
