So exhausted after a little exertion makes me not want to do anything

It sounds like you are doing pretty good. Not lazy at all. 18 holes of golf, PT, and bridge with friends. Awesome. I get so exhausted trying to go from bedroom to kitchen just to make coffee. I'm good as long as I'm sitting in a reclining position and not moving around. I can't prepare meals anymore, or clean my house. Tasks that previously took a half hour can now take me all day due to resting every couple mins. So I've just decided to do the things that are most important to me and let the rest go. It sounds like you are already doing that so don't give yourself a guilt trip about being lazy. Do what you enjoy as long as you can.

@joyeous you sound like me...they say exercise would help with lung function. My lungs are functioning at 42%. How can you exercise when you can't get your breath. I, like you, struggle and pant going from 1 room to another. No more cooking or cleaning house. Feel great while I'm sitting. That's why I sit a lot. I was always active but those days are gone. My pulmonologist has tried so many things. Pick lines, antibiotics, rehab and nothing has helped.
