I pushed myself hard and I made it!

I am so proud of you! And you are losing weight as well. Great! Keeping up the walking I bet you can make it up the hill without stopping after awhile. Keep it up!

You are an inspiration my friend. Good for you!

I'm so glad for you! Keep it up and you will get better and better. Attitude is a great part of recovery.

You are doing great hon, just keep it up

That is good new , keep going and you will be all well soon . have a bless day

Way to go, girl! Sounds like your determined to make progress, which we should all do when it is health related. Walking is good exercise for losing weight and better for your heart/lungs. Take baby steps and soon you'll be in a marathon!

Sounds great! I once read a book about how important oxygen is for our cells and how it can help to heal almost any disease, so just see to that you get enough oxygen and keep walking!! Maybe you can add the following great extra anti oxidants that are free and are available everywhere as long as we can have contact with our home planet, the earth. Here is a video about it and if you make a search with "earthing" among the discussions, you will find one that I started 5 months earlier and read what experience others have about the easiest way to improve our health. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XumPQLTzPWI Maybe you also eat a lot of fresh fruit and veggies and some good cold presse oils, like coconut oil, so the chances are huge that you will get so much better health in the months to come.. Wish you a wonderful life..

I am so impressed by your determination. It is a great inspiration. I hope you continue to be motivated and that you do well working on rehabilitating yourself.

Good for you! Keep it up. : )

you give me courage. but i was dumb and let my portable oxygen go back. i can walk around the store with the buggy to lean on, so maybe i should look into some sort of walker or something. do you use a walker or cane?

I am so glad that you could achieve that which you set your mind to do. Being positive comes along way in helping people recover from sickness or health issues they are facing. In the past I used to have a bad sickness relating to cold and the Doc said I should stay off cold waters and use heater more often. It was a tiresome experience because I couldn't do without cold water, I drink up to 4 liters a day and why would I take hot water so much time, when I do I still felt thirsty a lot. So I still had to switch back to cold water but watched more of what I wore just to prevent that cold.

your determination really touched me.I am so moved.And I hope you enjoy every day !bless you

Hi friend, you have confidence and will power that helped you to achieve a lot. Sad to hear about your health issues, however you take it as challenge and tried your maximum to come out from that. That's good, keep up the will power and come out from the health problems, wish you to get speedy recovery

Good job. yeah walk like that and you will have your health improved more and more. I am glad you did it. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Good on you!! I also have trouble with my breathing. I'm a smoker and got diagnosed with asthma in my 30's and stupidly continued smoking....working on quitting now and oh my...so so hard. I've cut back drastically and have told my girls to push me to walk with them at night. They do. Sometimes they really do have to push. I work full time and watch my little grandson on my days off so at the end of the day, I"m pretty tired. Still, I do it. They sometimes let me slide but not much. We don't even walk that far but I do get winded. The other night my daughter commented on it because it really is not that far. Over the summer, my 13 yr old grandson and I would walk every nite unless it was storming. He was very pushy which was good. If a balked, he said, "Gram, now you are just being lazy". It worked. I am not a "lazy" person by nature. My daughters challenge me a bit more than he did. We went to two stores the other night and when we came out of the 2nd one, all the power in the city went out. I said, " Oh well, that confirms it...we are heading home." Then the lights came back on and she said.." Oh well, Mom, guess you still have to walk to the convenience store with us. And so we did. The power went out again just after we left and I'm kind of glad we did go forth. The power at home was out most of the night and we had gotten snacks and drinks which was good.

I admire the effort you are putting into this. If I had to have a portable oxygen machine I am afraid I would just sit around and mope. Actually that is pretty much what I am doing now.

YOU GO, GIRL!! I'm sure it felt good to get out - that was a lot! I think it's better to be up and about - get that heartbeat and circulation going - your body and mind will thank you!! Keep it up, PQ!!!

I admire you for the way you persist in taking exercise.You seem to be the type of person that has great willpower.You get out and walk on the regular basis,needless to say plenty of fresh air may contribute to your health.Hang in,you will soon pick up.

Its good you are getting out and moving. If you just sit around, and not moving either will seize up adn cause more problems. Take it a little bit at a time each day and in no time you'll be running around town.

When I was a junior high school student,I suffered from severe cough lasting about 3 months,I was skinny. My doctor guessed it may be Tuberculosis. Thank gods, the inspections showed that I just suffered from a lung infection. But I was so down because I faced the entranc exams with my extremly weak body. I was frustrated about life!! My doctor noticed my negative emotions, he said to me:" It will be fine if you think so, just have a faith, my boy!". Then I tried to leave my dieseas out of my mind.I took exercises, I received treatments with hope and pleasure, I imagined myself as a recovering tree in the spring. Finally, the "tree" sprouted and flourished, I recovered and went to a key senior high school. From then on I have kept sporting and I enjoy it. I become strong. Having come through this, I have found it's truth of the saying: hope is always the good thing. I believe you will recover soon because you act positively, and you have strong faith. BEST WISHES!
