I had an unexpected visitor comment on my last blog post. I have an idea who this person is... but the brilliant thing about being anonymous is that there is always that question of who exactly the commenter is.
I have made a promise to myself to document my life after diagnoses. This may last 10 years... or 3... who knows. The point is, no one with some rude comments will run me off. I will continue to be honest about my life and the choices I had to make to get here. If someone has ugly comments they can keep them to themselves. I promised to leave up all comments, and I still intend to, however if they persist on commenting just to make me uncomfortable, then I will use my delete button.
Some people are just so unhappy in their own lives that they can't let anyone else grab a moment of happiness. Really... have they not been reading this blog? I would not wish my life on any one!
Any way, I take these things very personal and I couldn't shake it all day. I won't dwell on it, and I will let it go. Let's hope they don't continue to show up with unwanted comments.

I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago. I've been keeping up with you every since. I was diagnosed with COPD/emphysema in Jan. 2010. Early stage I think. I don't have insurance so I go to a clinic to get the albuterol for my nebulizer. I know how I feel now & I wonder what it's going to be like later. I read about your days etc..& sometimes I cry, sometimes it scares me & I wonder if that is my future as well. But I read & I have learned so much from you. Please don't let negative comments get to you. It's a waste of your day. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates you sharing your life/experience. So thank you.
Thank you Teresa. I needed a kind and supportive word. <3
I am glad that reading my blog helps you. I am sorry that parts of it are scary. That is the nature of the disease. I wish you many many years of healthy living. I am a firm believer that with constant (mild to moderate) exercise and watching what you eat, and generally staying away from colds, flu... that you can prolong the life expectancy. I don't like it when they talk about that.
I think people get too hung up on the stages of Copd and forget to live. I say that from experience. I worried and fretted about a year just knowing I was a blink away from death. I waisted a lot of good living. Please, if you ever need someone to talk to come here and ask. I would absolutely arrange so that we could talk on the phone.
Thank you again for your kind words.
Many thanks for sharing your world so openly, Kellie. My Dad was diagnosed with COPD a few years ago and it is very difficult for him and all who love him. It means a lot to read your advice on what to look out for and to see how you are doing your best to live and cope. Good luck! Catherine
Catherine,
I am so sorry to hear about your fathers diagnoses. I hope he is doing well.
Honestly, I have bad days and bad weeks, but the constant struggle I have is to not get frustrated at what I can not do.
My best advice for a family member is to let them try and do things, but also let them know that you are there to offer help whenever he may need it. And, men are terrible at asking for help, so having someone just show up to mow the yard, or things like that would probably be very helpful to your dad.
Bless your family.
I am glad to have you here getting an idea of what it is like from this side. My best to you and yours.
