Ken there is no apology needed so please stay with us and take part. I hope you will reach 100 at least. x

Please Ken do not apologise. You’ve done nothing wrong and at 87 years young you’re a marvel. Wishing you well as always.

Love and hugs, Carole xxx👍🥰💖💖💖💖

Don't take it to heart Ken, I do appreciate your situation.

Many thanks for your understanding and very best wishes to you.

You have nothing to apologise for Ken. Please feel at home in this dodgy lung family 😊

[DJS6]

Dear Ken,

Please don't apologise - you really have done absolutely nothing wrong!!

Of course you are accepted on the BLF forum.....I believe it is open to all, to ask for, receive and/or offer support and advice and information. I haven't been on here long myself, but find it very informative and useful.....

Good for you at 87years old to reach out for advice, and here's hoping you continue to do so!

Take care, Jane xx

Hello Ken, I missed seeing your early posts, I don't know why, probably nodded off or busy writing a silly rhyme. I will be 90 later this year so if you like I'll tell you what it's like if you stick around (which I hope you will). My wife died 2010 and we always wished we could live in a small village, roses round the door and all that, but numerous things prevented it. I suppose that's why we caravanned a lot, and why I now have a campervan.

You have absolutely nothing to apologise for and I'm sorry that you feel that you do. There should be no judgement of anyone hear and all are welcome. Come along and join in anytime you want to if you want to chat or need a bit of company. We will all cheer you on towards your 90th birthday.

Hello Ken, just want to say welcome to this friendly group of patients with dodgy lungs. No need for apologies, I hope we're all patient and kind to new members.

Its lovely to live in a village- you're a braver person than I am i must say. I'm originally from West London myself, recently from SW19 before I moved to a town in Gloucestershire where there are lots of people going by.

At the moment I'm with a one year old grandchild in a Cambridgeshire village that's how I know I couldn't ever do village life. Also I cant abide mud!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned that on this forum we've got all different lung diseases at different stages. I'm afraid I can't help much with Emphysema/COPD but others can.

Ask any questions you like and someone will try to help although real medical advice might be best found from ringing your respiratory nurse (very difficult at this time of covid to get through). Very best wishes to you. Peege

PS do you have family or friends who pop by to see how you are?

Welcome Ken, I lost my Partner too and I know it can be lonely. I also miss those big Council estates. We knew everybody and there was always someone to play with. I always felt Lucky and not poor at all! Please, know you are excepted and remember we are all Traveling that same road. 🧓👍

Hello Ken, 😊

I read your other post, and am glad to see you got many helpful answers. I am very impressed with your computer skills, as for the life of me I cannot get my own mother to be more technology savvy 😞.

Your post did not offend me, nor as you can see, anyone else really, so your apology is totally unnecessary. It is in fact me that should apologise that you felt so uncomfortable you felt the need to feel chastened. We as chronically ill people know and understand the difficulties of feeling isolated and at times confused as to what to do. Stands to reason, we should be kind, and we are, truly we are💕. So please accept my apology and please stay. We are in this together. I hope you will update us soon.

With many best wishes,

Caspiana 🌿

I kind of find it tragic how one persons comments can almost destroy your confidence in reaching out for friendship and support on this dodgy lung sight.we are a very mixed bunch of guys and gals,boys and girls but above all we are in it together and we welcome you to our group with open arms and minds ken as we do everyone else who wants our help.friendship and advice.Best wishes Ski's and a scruffy cat.

😊😺

[Annie31]

I'm still trying to understand why you are apologizing! I can't see anything wrong with your previous posts or this one for that matter. This forum has a lot to offer, we have fun and lighthearted banter and is ideal if you need advice or a friendly ear! As Skis has said we all belong in the dodgy lung club, in one form or another, so don't wander away and be lonely when there's no need!

[johnderby]

Hello Ken. Everyone is always welcome here. We all share and learn from each other. Just one rather large family that is always open to all. 😀😀👍👍

[MoyB]

Aw, Ken! I don't know why you're apologising - really, I don't.

Just enjoy being part of this lovely group. We are a really mixed bunch of various ages and persuasions but all have dodgy lungs and that's what brings us together. We try to help each other and some of us need advice on managing our conditions whilst others pop in and out to say hello now and again. People post jokes, funny pictures, beautiful pictures of places they've visited or their gardens. Most posts are uplifting, but there are also those that make you a bit sad.

Everyone has an equal place here and you are as welcome as the rest of us!

Sometimes, a written remark may not sound as kindly as it is intended - some are better at expressing themselves than others - and a person may take offence. That's life! The best thing to do then is to move on to the more positive responses and remember that we can all have a bad day when things just come out wrong.

Please stay with us. It will be good to get to know you better.

xx Moy
