Welcome, gjh71, to our special haven. Feel free to tell us more about yourself when you feel ready -- Help & Healing is a good place for an introductory post.
I hope you find the camaraderie and wisdom here helpful. Caregiver for 30+ years to C-4 quadriplegic shot during a robbery at age 21. He practices law full time; we have two 20-something sons.

Hello,

Re: How to use this board
Welcome back, swashi. We don't mind if members come and go -- we are always here. But I'm thinking that things must not be going so well for you if you've returned to the fold. Feel free to tell us all about it when you're ready. I'm sorry, I'm don't remember the details of your situation.

Re: How to use this board
Welcome (((Surfshan))) to our family - a fellow traveller on the COPD trail I see.
Please post more, try in the Help and Healing Forum, our most widely read area. My wife is currently undergoing an exacerbation - she has been fairly stable for two years (has lung volume reduction many years ago - uses 02 24/7 and has CHF) She has been hospitalized four times this year (got out July 30, readmitted August 2) and is now in LT rehab, I expect until the 1st. So I need you all to be here too, and I return your thanks, because we all lean on each other here. Larry Be thankful the thornbushes have roses!
