About Me
Smoked for 30 years. Finally successful in quitting for good on May 21 2007. I have a daughter who graduated high school this year. I was diagnosed with Very Severe COPD in September 2007. My fev1 is at 18%. I've named my portable oxygen tank "Myron". My portable concentrator is "Ruby". I work as a bookkeeper/office manager for a small manufacturing company. I've decided that my life started again in Sept and I will reinvent myself from that point on. No more going back, no shoulda , woulda , coulda's.
Interests
I'm trying to find new interests that are within my capabilities. I have ALOT of life left in me and I'm not giving up without a fight!
