I enjoyed it really did I will go to next group all of them if I can but will have to work out if I can go to

Outings etc as I work weekends and help with grandchildren during week! Mind you first five minutes felt awkward as its in a church and funeral going on!! Out meeting room obviously was kept quite quiet a gentleman who has lung problems kindly brought beautiful looking crystal rocks etc which he collected whilst working at tin mines near here! First ever talk he have abs I felt for him so kinda asked questions as a novice that I knew he would be more than capable of answering he was excellent and I really could of listened longer ha! All age groups attended not loads due to illness but at least I got idea of how it can be for me to get to know them all I enjoyed just being able to relax, and lady with her friend made me especially welcome I am pleased I attended o find it difficult to make friends at my age ha! Think that's why y work seems to me to be my social timer ha! Thank you velvet it's new and nice for me to share my day as living alone is so silent in many ways x

It sounds wonderful, I didn't realise Breathe Easy had so much going on. I thought was like an aerobics class.

I thought it was a discussion group where we all had COPD etc, I was amazed they had a guest speaker who suffers COPD he brought all these beautiful stones that he had brought from underground when he was mining in the sales many years ago so interesting for me as I had hated thought of being a miner and fear of being underground so dangerous he was really interesting telling funny stories, all different ages they also gave me a list of outings and weekends away planned this year different speakers who would be attending everyone so friendly a nurse was present she volunteers to get there as often as she can and answers questions from everyone , tea coffee supplied a raffle to boost finds also bag packing at Asda this year to fund help for lung federation honestly I felt very nervous didn't know what to expect but I enjoyed a laugh with two lovely ladies who invited me to sit with them, I felt really at ease, parking isn't so good but whenever a car needed moving a lovely gentlemen took keys and moved it for people to drive out. Amazing so little is known of COPD and excellent to feel part of a group who live with ill health like I do I would recommend to everyone to give it a try its educational and also for me a much needed social time where I don't have to continually explain why I can't or shouldn't do this or that xx

Hi Ennyl I agree with you breathe easy groups are very helpful. I go to one and they have guest speakers and go out on trips and have meals at Christmas take care x

[Ennyl in reply to Hidden]

Brilliant!! I only have been to one and really looking forward to the next. I live alone I don't socialise which isn't good but I don't know anyone where I live but I have family close by, I just feel it's a lifeline for me I feel safe and I am looking forward to next one. I work all weekend as support worker so co workers understand I need support at times and we all help each other, so really I am quite isolated but am happy go lucky I see my grandchildren But nice to have adult conversations I love this site I wish I had known of it years ago x
