Just 5 weeks ago today I got my new lease on life! It has been such an amazing time for me. Tonight I went to a meeting and had to park quite a distance away. I walked (with my heavy oxygen) and had no problem. My friends are just amazed. I'll share this silly thing--I haven't changed my own bed for 3 years at least. My sister or friends do it for me. Well this week I stripped the bed (queen size), washed the sheets, and made my own bed! I was thrilled. Yesterday when I went to water aerobics I was kind of tired of the regular exercises so I decided to swim 3 laps across the pool. I did it but it was probably stupid because I had no oxygen and I do desat. However, it felt good but I did get winded--I don't think I was SOB.
Not much new to report--I continue to do my exerecises and record keeping. It's been fun talking and exchanging info with other COPD folks.
