Breath Easy Group

[Bingo88]

Good morning everyone. As I said I would report back to the group with regards my 1st visit to the above group for the 1st time Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and it's was at a social club so you had a choice of Alcoholic drinks or tea and coffee

They had a guy there from the fire service this month talking about fire safety in the home and also for people with oxygen cylinders at home as well. They also had a raffle and they do weekly lunch clubs and also doing a Christmas lunch in December and also arrange days out during the year. So I think it's really worthwhile going to the support group as they have different speakers on every month talking about different topics

Hope you all have a good Friday and Weekend. Brian

Sounds like a good club with lots of options you can dip in and out of as needed, on personal preference or maybe because it’s a bad day. Well done on going, that first visit is always a bit nerve racking!

[Bingo88 in reply to beech]

I think it's a bit easier for a man walking into a room of strangers. I think you tell quite quickly how the Atmosphere is in the room. Brian

[Zand60]

Goodness, you were brave, if you didn't know anyone there. I don't know if we have a group similar in our area, I'll have a search but well done to you Lesley xx

[Bingo88 in reply to Zand60]

Thanks Lesley. I think it stems from my driver/ delivery days going to a factory and speaking to anyone to find out who is dealing with deliveries. Usually if it involved a lot of lifting nobody wanted to know. Brian

[CDPO16]

Pleased for you Brian to have found such a good group to join.

[Bingo88 in reply to CDPO16]

Thank you. Yes I like to get out and about anyway and life is for living while we still can. Hope your keeping as well as possible and have a good day. Brian

[Dottie11]

[Bingo88 in reply to Dottie11]

Yes I think it helps being with people who understand the health problems. Brian

[Dottie11 in reply to Bingo88]

Yes that is is. Something to look forward to re Christmas get together but also hints, tips on health and friendship.
