I have to drop the bomb

Post by MichaelRobinson »

OK. This is not easy to say but I have to explain way I play so litle.

I have KOL and can barely breathe. I slowly die in suffercation. I try to live as "normal" as possible and have goals despite death anexity.

Now I'v said it and it don't help me becouse I feel my slowly death. It's invisible and nobody can see this.

I had to look KOL up. Here it is known as COPD. I have this too... It is hard to deal with. My father also has it in the final stages.
Hang in there, Michael, and play when you can. We enjoy your posts.

Yes BB. It's very hard to deal with and know there is no escape from it and no recover from it.

It's hard to let the thoughts of death vanish when once have got it.

I do understand you too, and I enjoy youre playing and youre posts, too.

I say as you say to me. Hang in there, BB

English is not my first language so I try to say it in a simple way.
Take care of yourself and hang in there, all the best.

That's really bad news. Although there's no real recovery from it, modern medicine can help a lot. Enjoy the good days, play if you feel comfortable.

As everyone has said - hang in there - try and enjoy the better days as much as you can.

The anxiety must become overwhelming at times. It's terrifying enough to have a bad asthma attack - but COPD is obviously so much worse - difficult to imagine how much more.

What to say ..... take care and try and get the best help you can.

I'm sorry, man :sad: My grandmother on my mother's side also had the same thing. I remember once I had a horrible lung infection... even standing up made me so winded I almost passed out.. I remember it as the worst feeling I had ever felt.

Keep on playin' when you can. I always enjoy your music
