This COPD stuff is quixotic. This morning I felt fine. This afternoon I feel ugh. Not horribly terrible but not nearly fine either.

It would be nice to be able to predict the ugh. Better yet, to prevent.

At least I have nowhere I have to go and nowhere I have to be and nothing I have to do. And it does not interfere with teddy bear knitting.

It could be so much worse.

I had pneumonia and that led to the COPD diagnosis. I've likely had undiagnosed COPD for a long time that the pneumonia just made way worse. I have 50% of the breathing capacity of women my age, weight and height. With medication, it's improved to 75% on a good day and I have lots of good days.
