My one worry was at my last hour would I grasp for air & the Doctors assured me that NO I would not and that was medicine enough . I have some really bad days but I give thanks for what I do have and my Oxygen has give me the most comfort . I am on it 24 but do break for a few hours if the weather is nice . This winter has been my worse so I am ready for spring . I have had my very first panic attack in a local store but escaped to an area where I got myself together . I could not get home fast enough swearing I would never leave home again but I have and I made the second visit ok . Reading all of your stories and fears, good & bad are so helpful . I appreciate each of you & lets keep on fighting . p.s. I do believe in God & yes my faith & prayers are part of my journey thru Copd .

Hi Gregory you post really got my attention particularly the reliance on Your faith and prayer and just wanted to stop and say Thanks. I'm not end stage yet my COPD is pretty well managed at the moment, But my area was Heart arrhythmia and when your in a bad one it feels like you can't breath so that also is my worse fear, not so much dying but the process of that last hour prior. Thanks for your comment of what your doctor said. I now have a transplanted Heart but I still have copd with emphysema from years of smoking and it seems I've recovered some from that after being 10 years of no smoking so just want to stop by and make that comment. And as I like to say to fellow Christians it never goodbye but see you here there or in the Air, God Bless
