Myth, to be honest I am dying as slowly as I possibly can. Doc says COPD will cause me to stop breathing and, with his sense of humor (?) he says in his experience, patients who stop breathing are very much in danger of dying.
I still drive, live alone, feed myself. I'm okay. I look at the grass, it looks at me. I'm still walking on it, not yet under it. Life goes on. Thanks for axing.
