I copied the following from an article on COPD.net
"I am more than my illness.
You are more than your illness.
Maybe you speed read. Or give your pet dog a wonderful home and lifelong friend. Maybe you know a lot about sports, or the words to every Beatles songs ever recorded. Maybe you’re a great parent, or a great grandparent for a child (either young or adult) who loves you. Maybe you knit or crochet or make jewelry. Maybe you’re a great movie buff. Or you read mysteries. Maybe you sing or swim or travel. Maybe you love beaches and have always wanted to go to Sri Lanka. Maybe you’re an expert on Medieval fake fingernails in Japan.
Do you recognize yourself here?
Well, maybe not with the fake Japanese fingernails. But do recognize that you are an artist/swimmer/parent/dog lover who has COPD and not a COPD sufferer who draws, etc. Put the description of what make you you first. You just happen to be sick too. Because, after all…
You are more than your illness".
