COPD

trucking:
Hi onesock,

Firstly, no she didn’t die from COPD. She developed Lung Cancer and died of that…

Please try to keep yourself calm, with a few little exercises this can be managed…

What ever you do from now on has to be done in stages of counts of five… i.e getting out of bed in the morning. Follow these steps and you will be ok.

  1. sit up in bed… count 5 slowly
  2. sit on edge of bed … count 5
  3. stand up out of bed … count 5
  4. walk halfway down stairs… count 5
  5. continue the other half… count 5 then sit down.

Take breaths in to the count of 5 and exhale to count of 3

Follow these steps with every thing you do and in a very short time your brain will adjust to this.
One final thing to help with your breathing…breath into a paper bag until you can breath easier.
Doing this means that you inhale the same amount of air as you exhale.
l will P.M you my tel number . send me a text and l will phone you back…

Sorry to hear about your wife’s passing, there is no way around the distress and again, I’m sorry I was blunt. You are very considerate and thanks for the offer of the tel. No. I won’t abuse it. Oh so may miles over so many years and so many ■■■■ in the cab. I never listened to advice and always thought it will never happen to me. !
