“Living with” is my choice. I am not in control of my disease, my God is in charge. I love the gift of life that He has blessed me with and I want to enjoy it as long as possible. Therefore, I will live my life in a manner that will make it as comfortable and happy as possible while I wait God to summon me home.

Indeed, acceptance is very important, and faith in my superior power is also very helpful. I’ve also found that Pulmonary Rehab has shown me that I’m not completely at the mercy of this disease. Pulmonary Rehab has taught me that I have some control over how I feel, both physically and mentally.
