Anxiety?

Rough breathing day yesterday due to humidity, a lot cooler today so went out to run errands and enjoy the day. Pneumonia  getting a better with antibiotics...I am 15 days free from smoking and about 3 weeks from finding out about my COPD...anyhow I was thinking, “wow I wonder if I am making myself even more short of breath because of anxiety about the disease and not knowing much about it, and obsessing about it?” Then it hit me....I am a believer so I know my days are ordained and the good lord above is in control...not me!!! As they say “let go and let god”...I really need to live that...really really gonna try hard...blessings all.

Started smoking to be cool and that was was 46 years ago with a break for boot camp and two pregnancies. Figured one cigarette with a cocktail wouldn’t hurt and now I’m diagnosed with emphysema, huh that didn’t work out as planned...you would think working in a hospital and watching your mother die of lung cancer would motivate me but apparently I’m a slow learner. Scared to quit but I know my life depends on it.
