Thank you for the tribute. I could just crawl off somewhere and wait to die or I can choose to live life to its fullest. I am also a teacher by choice and by vocation so I can't help but shed some light into areas to which most tend to turn a blind eye.

MaggieMae-
You ARE a brave lady and one who lives each day to the fullest. It is when I get to the point where I'm not afraid to go that I hope I've prepared the others in the family. Sorry, Mags, that got serious real fast. For all I know Jay and I could be KOed in a traffic accident. Mags, you are probably the only other woman I know who admits to having a CPAP machine. I got the new nasal pillow. It's what gets me to wear it.
Speaking of which, it's time for me to hit the hay.

LadyCee, you are a woman of courage. To share your struggles with us is
inspiring. And to MaggieMae, I salute you. From reading your writing and the inspiring emails I wouldnt have guessed you have health struggles. You are such a positive and fun person. God bless you both.

Cee............
I have the same problem. Just transferring from my wheelchair to my bed or the toilet leaves me without breath. I scares me to death. I've been that way since coming out of the hospital in Feb. I have an oxygen concentrator which will provide oxygen for me whenever I need it. The only thing is, I hate to use it and become dependent on it. I do have to put it on from time to time and I use it every night with my CPAP.
I just want you to know I know how you feel and I can sympathize with you. Not being able to breathe is a very scarey thing.

Thanks so much. I am proactive when it comes to my health, but I've had a few symptoms I've ignored; denial is a very strong agent! The respiratory testing is done but I don't know what the results were. It will be a couple of weeks. Thanks for stopping by!
