Welcome to the forums my fellow long-time lurker! Hope you enjoy your stay here Pookie.

I'm sorry that you suffer from COPD... I know a few people who suffer from the emphysema portion of the disease and know how hard it is for them to do anything because of it as they are on oxygen 24/7. I'm just grateful that they decided to quit smoking at this point instead of continuing on as some do.

P.S. Congratulations laurence on quitting!
