First off Happy Birthday Canada!!!
I am new to the forum. I am a 58 year old woman with 6 grandchildren and two children that live close by. I have COPD and have been diagnosed with it since 1997.
Vic told me about the forum and how nice everyone is here.

Welcome Lin! It's great to have you hear and to have Vic tell you about us! I've known him now for a few years and he's a true"gentleman". Well just pop right in ( I see you have); many folks are away on vacation etc right now so if they're a little slow bringing out the "Welcome Mat" you'll understand why. You're in good company here with your "brood"; several of the folks look after grandchildren etc; an added bonus (and I'm jealous) is that they live close by. AND; good for you having "lived with" this disease for 11 years. The statistics are showing now people living into their 70's & 80's with COPD!!! My name is Jackie aka Blossom. Lin; I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Lin, welcome to the family and a great one it is. I'm 53 and was diagnosed 17 years ago when my kids were little pups. They're all grown now but not having little ones of their own yet. Visit often, you'll find a home away from home here.
