Thought today was friday the 13th

[reggie]

Last night my ex came for tea we got on ever so well and I felt a glimmer of hope that she would be there for me but this morning she admitted she was not at work but meeting her new partner at the farm I do feel empty but also glad but I have enough on my plate but its ironic that the only friends I have are within these pages and mere photos in front of me of a son that I will have to now apply for access to see, no family , no friends was this the way it was supposed to be ending I dont know but my dear friend and adorted sister lynda has phoned regular today she worries bless her

Hi Reggie, we are all here for each other, and there are great groups on Facebook, and you are quite likely to find a fellow COPD person living close to you for support, I know i have and others on there.it is a cruel situation that you are in but take heart that we are here for you, and I see you have a hangover, maybe a good breakfast will sort that out, take care speak soon Reggie.

[reggie in reply to Marian-Anne]

Toast coffee green frog burger van preston riverside (highly recommend) at about 10am I think but it helped I am overwhelmed by the support from others on here but life at the moment is dealing a couple of bad cards hopefully a home move will make a change for me but thank you for your kind words

hi reggie

i am copd with emphysema and have heart probs too.im 62 and live in spain for the last 15 years.

i am also a recovering alcoholic and have not drank alcohol for 21 years

you have situations in your life that are making you feel lonely and sad . believe me a drink will not make any of it better

lots of support and advice on this site and its good advice to make friends with the people at breathe easy group

my lovely brother of 58 years old is fighting at the end of his time with copd pulmonary fibrosis ,cardiac hypertension and emphysema .He is so brave.

i do hope that life smiles on you soon and that you can see and feel it .

[reggie in reply to brujapatsy]

Thankyou your kind words of support are taken on board and drink no a one off yesterday it made the problem worse because I hardly drink I do also hope life improves for you too

Regards brian

Hi Reggie.

I have COPD, too, and thankfully I now have a really supportive husband (who I met several years AFTER I was diagnosed). However, when I told my previous husband that I had ovarian cancer (before the COPD), he stopped talking to me. I got the appointment through for my op and he said he'd take me. I thought 'great, maybe he's got used to the idea and things will be ok' - he took me to the hospital, let me out of the van, said 'see you' and left! That was it. I had 4 children to look after as well. I'm not saying this in a poor-me way, I just thought I'd let you know that there IS life out there after diagnosis and rubbish partners! Take care of yourself, Reggie, alcohol is only a very temporary 'solution' and can cause it's own problems.

Lots of people on here to talk to, even if for the time being, they are only virtual shoulders to cry on. It all helps, honestly.

Spritz ?

[reggie in reply to Spritz]

Through tearful eyes thank you you and your story have given me a ellement of hope I do hope sincerely that all goes as best as possible for you thank you

regards brian

[Spritz in reply to reggie]

Like I said, not 'poor me' - happier than I have been for years, despite the COPD !
