@jrg200911 really nice to hear from you .It feels wonderful to not feel alone. I highly recommend getting a POC(portable oxygen concentrator) to help with your shortness of breath. I used to need it 24/7 but now I use it only when I am sick or visiting my grandchildren in Denver where the altitude is over 5000 feet. It makes all the difference in the world. It's easy to use,a little expensive up front but just keeps on working. I can use it as a packback or carry it. It will change your world!
I am sending you prayers. I also continue to count my blessings!
