Followed by a brisk marathon run no doubt, well done dipsey
just putting my bikini on and getting a whiff of the chlorine takes my breath away and I am only moderate COPD, so I will have to get myself re assessed, after I dry the sweat off
Good for you Dipsey It takes it out of me just having a shower, can't imagine how it can be good fun ?
Good lord. !!!!!how proud you must be. !!what an acheivement. X
Wow am surprised you can do that much with severe copd Dipsy! I am moderate and couldn't do anywhere near that.

My doctor told me last year it doesn't really matter what your lung function is it's how it affects you that matters and I decided to do as much as I can so stopped smoking, eat healthily and swim 3 times a week and use my exercise bike in between. Not planning on giving in to the disease too quickly
Exactly the same as me Dipsey, my doctor told me last year to stop smoking as I had severe COPD.
Well I quit the very next day and joined the local amateur athletics club, now I run a mile every morning
well done, you are an inspiration, just because we have severe COPD we are not disabled
Exactly and I don't intend it give in ever
Last test was 48% which was better than the one before which was 42%
You are fantastic!!! Hope it all went well and you are feeling very proud of yourself. Take care, TAD xx
Awesome Effort,& positive thinking! Congrats to you,keep it up,that's fantastic! xxx
just oneword WOW ! x
That is fantastic Dipsey, keep it up
My word a few more lengths and you will be mild COPD
well done
