PS-Being co2 retentive is what killed him...This almost killed me. Towards the end hospital bed and cpap machines in the house. Not to mention all the prescription medication that you've got to take. Don't mean to preach but I would not want to see another human being go thru this. The cigarette addition was so strong that he still smoked the first few years after diagnosis. I threatened to leave him because I could not bear it. Had good coverage along with the medicare. So I was lucky in that sense.
I wish you well and all the luck in the world. It's going to be tough..Tougher if you got alcohol in your system..Going to bars, sporting events and just hanging out with friends is a rough road. Ex-smokers here will be pulling for you. I was a moderate smoker. DH was 2.5 pacs a day. After seeing what he was going thru I quit. It's been 6 yrs now. I did cheat once in a while hanging with co-workers. Today, I can't stand the taste. Sorry didn't mean to double post. You will be fighting the urge for a long time. sincerely d
