    • About Me

      I am a 57 yr old who has just lost her job as a correctional officer after 15 yrs because of my copd. I really liked what I did and am devistated that I can no longer do what I love. God has been good to me though as I was offered another job as an Office assistent. Life sure is full of ups and downs. I have 2 grown children and lots of grandkids who are a delight. My believe that Jesus died for me and I love to serve him.

      Thanks, I love her dearly! I was notified by the rescue group that she was being put up for adoption, on my birthday. Can't get a better sign than that! We have another little one )her brother) that was rescued about 2 months later.... he's dad's dog!

    • Close COPD & Emphysema

      I am 57 and have COPD. I live in a very small town in WY so info. is hard to come by. I am struggling with how to live with it and still have a normal life. I use to be very active and now struggle with walking. I would like to talk with people who know what it's like not to be able to breath. I feel like people don't really understand. So many times I am told to just get more exercise. I wish I could figure out how to do that without feeling like passing out. Thanks, Linda

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked

      Albuterol Working / Worked
      needed it more and more then went to another.
      Combivent Working / Worked
