Pulmonary rehabilitation gave me a life

[kevinrobinson]

A lovely man called Kevin has written a blog post for us about his experience of PR. He talks about getting a goal he thought was unachievable - and reveals whether or not he made it.

Let me know what you think of Kevin's story...

I liked Kevin story. Thought it would have been better to relate to if it was a person with copd. Maybe in the near future. Someone from our site would be even better.Don't know if thats a possibility or not. It would definitely be inspirational.

Just a thought

I was diagnosed with COPD 10 years ago I was given a blue inhaler and told to go home no information nothing.

I joined this site last year and read many posts where people had been on these rehab courses so when I had my next lung function test I asked about this course.

I started mine in January I just wish my GP would of sent me to rehab when I was diagnosed I might of looked after myself a little better knowledge is power. We had two parts to our course education and exercise as many know I go swimming so I got more out of the education side and I have to add physiotherapists who took the course were fantastic.
