I think it's 28% (out of 100%). I want to play baseball and football with the kids, but I know I can't do it. I can't run around with them. For now all I can do is accept it.
How has having COPD changed you as a person?
Before, I thought I was gonna live forever. I was...you know... indestructible. After diagnosis, it opened my eyes. Now I see somebody with a disability and, you know, you don't know what they're going through. I know how I suffer. But, I don't know how they suffer.
I appreciate the beauty of the sunrise and sunsets - the world we live in. There's a lot of negative things going on, but I...I can see a lot of beauty in the world. When you smoke you're polluting yourself. When you litter with garbage, you're polluting the earth.
What keeps you going?
If I see an obstacle no matter how big or small, I try to overcome it. I hope to see my granddaughter graduate from college and get married. I enjoy just living, waking up every day and seeing what's out in the world.
