Megan - in answer to your post

[Sherry44]

Morning Megan. Thanks for your e-mail. You live in a lovely part looking on to the South Downs. We used to live in London and came to the SW a few years ago. Sadly it is now only I as my husband died 8 years ago.

Yesterday I had an exacerbation and felt really bad. My lovely neighbour, who is a retired nurse, came in to see me. She always keeps a look out for me. She is wonderful. I am due to see the doctor as soon as I can make an appointment.

Hope you are able to get abroad soon so that your health will improve.

I am feeling much better today so hope it lasts. Sorry if this seems all doom and gloom.

Love xxx

Hallo Megan. Silly me. I inadvertently deleted your reply of yesterday and are unable to find it among the deleted files. Sorry. Would you be kind enough to include the contents in the next e-mail as I love hearing from you.

Hope all is well but will be able to answer more fully when I hear from you.

Lovexxx

Hi Sherry so sorry I did not get online yesterday, I' m sad to hear you had an exacerbation yesterday but thank goodness you have a lovely neighbour to keep an eye on how you are doing. I hope your G.P will see you tomorrow to get you back feeling a bit more like yourself. Do you sometimes think with lung problems it is one step forward two back? I don't mind admitting I have had a little cry sometimes this week from frustration and grieving for my lost good health (4 years ago I was fit and healthy) but I have felt my mood lift now with some Spring sunshine and seeing the snowdrops and daffodils reminds me in a couple of months and we will have warmer weather. It is hard for you not having your husband there for you, I hope you may have good family that are there to listen and support in addition to everyone here. I may not be able to pop round to you for a cup of tea but I am only the tap of a key away if you need a chat! x

Hallo Megan

Thanks for your e-mail. I noticed your e-mail to all of us that you have recently lost your lovely dog. I did reply back sending you my deepest sympathy. It is always sad to lose a great friend and family member because that is what our pets are.

As regards COPD - yes , one day you feel fine and the next like nothing on earth!

As for my family - I married late in life so there were no children. However this is not

meant to be self-pitying but just stating facts. I know I have a great many blessings to be thankful for and am generally quite a positive person.

Yes, the fact the spring is on the way is a great comfort and already the spring flowers area out and cheering us up.

Perhaps in future you can use my real name (it's not boozy Sherry. I thought of that on the spur of the moment!). It is ANN.

Thank you so much for your continued support.

Love xxx

Ann
