None of us need never be a prisoner, if only we had known what smoking regularly 60 a day for around four decades on top of all the other lung problems I had a saner man would not have started if one would have known the price we pay later in life, I would have loved to be able to play with my grandchildren and so much more at least I can and do take them to almost every home Match occasionally I miss some as I am in hospital with another infection, but that is life as it is today, however I do try and get out and about on the black beast with my camera in hand going away up the three rivers that flow into the Solent shooting wild life, boats large and small or just plain old landscapes that way I am king for a day. I have a beautiful and tolerant wife we now sleep in different bed rooms otherwise she would never get to sleep some times I will curse my luck that I have endure the pain, the coughing infections knowing that however bad my health may be their is always somebody worse of than me and today is one day of many for there is always tomorrow and another day beckons to be enjoyed as best as I can some days plans have to be changed but it is only another day of time, Apparently I was told that I would be lucky if I got to two years and over the ensuing years I have had accidents I should not be here 10 years ago Mary when I was in an induced coma to expect the worst, And nearly 72 years down the line I am still here trying to enjoy life as best as I can I bought two tickets in celebration of 33 years of Marriage to go to the theatre to see Mama Media on Wednesday evening which we are very much looking forward too going so I need never be a prisoner of my condition it is a mind-set that I have but sometimes I just have to be still and enjoy the stillness within even if it is painful I can lie back and reflect on the good parts of my life..

I have the same problem and have a large fan to try and cool things down but that is only when indoors if it is that or more I stay indoors with the fan

If your house us too dry, I can see using one..especially in the winter. I know when the humidity is above 50 or 60%, it's hard for me to breathe.

i thought humidity was good for us i just bought a humidifier did i mess up?

i just bought a humidifier cause i live in fla and i live in a camper with my air conditioner running 24/7 in the summer it dries me out so i thought a humidifier would help me breath better also my little dogs skin was so dry i thought it might help her also
