Oh, I did not know the details either, but saw a few days ago that you said you had 15% use of your lung capacity. I will pray for your healing. I was diagnosed with COPD less than a year ago, shortly after I quit smoking. I smoked for 24 years the first time, and then after quitting for seven years, started again and continued for another thirteen years. They told me my COPD was in early stages and was possibly reversible, but I use a puffer just so I can walk to my car comfortably, and it does help, and seems to be getting a little easier over time. I used to wonder, if this is early stage, what does more advanced look like? For even the slightest bit of exertion was taxing. I was using Salbutamol, and then was told it is not for daily use, so am now using one that delivers a cortisone steroid, which I am not happy about but I need to breathe, so, what are my options? I was a slave to cigarettes for far too long, and enjoyed smoking other things as well, mostly illegal substances that are now becoming more and more socially acceptable, and being openly sold everywhere in my country, despite the fact that their status as far as the law is concerned has not changed, except in the use of these substances for medical purposes. I am told that at the dispensaries, which are about as numerous as coffee shops, there are doctors who will write you a prescription on pretty much any pretext if you want one. This is the world we live in. Things that are now openly mainstream are the things my parents tried to protect me from when I was growing up. I have never been one to say, oh, these are signs that the end is coming, but it does give one pause. People love their sin, and only Grace can deliver us from it.
