HELLO Sofiedk & Welcome!

[Blossom/Jackie W.]

....glad you decided to join up!

I'm Jackie (aka Blossom). We're an International group here and most of us share a common bond.....COPD. There's no boundaries with this disease as you know.

Please feel free to jump in anywhere or anytime and on any subject. If a question hasn't been asked or you'd like to cover something you've not seen her.....start a new thread (topic).

Some folks check in daily, others ocassionally, others only read. Some become members like yourself.......we're all different. Stop by the gym, or check in and intro yourself over morning coffee.....whatever you're comfortable with is just fine with us. We're a friendly group and you'll be warmly welcomed!

Maybe you'll tell us about yourself here on this thread. If you're not ready that's O.K.

Hope to see you on one of the forums!!!

Hi Jackie, Rosemary and everyone else in here

I'm an 48 year old woman from Denmark and I'm in the medium group af COPD, known it for some years, but have had some set-backs this spring and summer, - I will tell more later, for now just an intro.

I've been looking for a forum for COPD and yours from Canada was the only one I could find (-: - but it looks very nice - and the next days i'll check out the diffrent topics.

Whenever i'm on the internet in any forum/chat/game i'm always SofieDK - my real name is Hanne - but even my son write web-mom Sofie - so I better stik to that name in here too (-:

I got a son age 25 who's living i Holland. I got a very sweet boyfriend who I spent my weekends with, great (but old) nabours and friends (a little younger thean nabours ! hi), moreover I'm from a biig family so way too much social invitations from time to time.

I'm working full time within education/consulting (economy and IT), my job is very interesting BUT i've more and more difficulty to overcome it and are thinking a lot about finding another kind of job or maybe go for part time..............

Hope this little intro is oki for a start - and I'm looking forward to talk to you in here (-:

NB! did see this site is also for caretakers, - my very beloved mom did die i 1989 of emfysem (she was ill for some years, but the COPD name did'n come up back at that time). But I sure know both sides.
