I am Madonna

[Madonnalee]

Hello, I'm new here. Love meeting new people, I have COPD, use two inhalers, airpro and on oxygen at night, during the day whenever needed. I am a widow, for many years now, have 5 children, 17 grandkids and 16 great grandkids. I try to keep active as much as possible. Love going to my grandsons baseball games, he's the catcher and very good at it. COPD surely changes one's life. Wondering how others deal with pain in rib area, does anyone have IBS? If so, what do you do for that.?

Good morning to you doodlez. Nice to meet you as well. Thank you for answering me. Sounds like you live a pretty active life, I know several that do quilting, that is such a beautiful thing to do and how nice you have a safe place. We all need that no matter what our problem is. I love to play cards, read, do all kinds of crossword puzzles, exercise, travel when I can [ going to Denver this weekend with daughter and grandson]. Hope I do ok, altitude is a bit higher than what I'm used to. Also waste a lot of time on ipad or computer. And of course, ballgames. Used to like doing yard work but find it hard to do much these days. What I do has to be in mornings as gets to hot for me. Have a good week end and keep in touch when you can.

Hi, I am also from the usa. I have recently been diagnosed with moderate emphysema & am still quite anxious. It sounds like you have an active lifestyle which is encouraging to me ( I am 61). hope this finds you doing ok, take care. and write back if you would like to. Gayle
