thx for posting this video, yesterday i was offered Pulmonary Rehabilitation as i'm having some serious problems i'm 36 and have a FEV1/FVC ratio of 41%, its dropped by 16% in the last year and this is all due to years of heavy marijuana smoking, was told i have a lung age of 109 too it's quite scary thought because if keep going the way i am i aint going to have much more time on the planet.

after a year of begging they've finally approved PR for me!!!! One month into it and I'm walking further than I've walked in two years.

I feel like my Pulmo finally believes I'm worth something.

I have my o2 concentrater on my walker. I can tell by the way people look at me that I look pretty wacked. LOL But I don't care. I wish I had the money to have PR though. It's different with a group.

My intercostal wall is inflamed from the plaque on my lungs from asbestos exposure. So breathing is very painful. Especially when I'm breathless. But if I take enough pain meds, I've been able to walk for 20 minutes now. Fortunately, I only have to drive 3 blocks to get to flat ground.
