Hi, just joined up with the COPD group. I've been a member of CKD for a few months now. I was dx with mild Emphysema in '98 but got caught up in smoke from a forest fire in 2001 for a couple of weeks and that caused an exacerbation and now I have about 60% lung function. Still not to bad. I feel lucky as i know many who are much worse off. Luckily I've not had another exacerbation so i'm staying steady at 60%.
I'm 79 and just moved from LVNV to Cincinnati OH. A big move for me.
