and my happiness to be here far outweighs any uges. I don't care about the nodule or spots on my lung or my husbands smoking. Thanks to the support of all of you, I am stronger than they are. I will continue to have faith that my health will be taken care of and keep distracted from my husband. He goes outside most of the time but the more he drinks the more he smokes and some of the time this is in the house. This does not matter. The 4 days I smoked were horrible. My chest was so tight and I was really short of breath, especially right after I put one out. I had been using my inhaler 0-1 times/day and was right back up to 4 times. I was light headed due, I'm sure, to low oxygen. When I smoke, my oxygen levels are in the low 90's and upper 80's. When I went to the Dr. last week after not smoking for awhile it was 99. I am so glad to have a place to come for support and all my friends on this site. You literally save lives and improve the quality of life.

I love all of you

Connie

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
