"I have emphysema and had invaluable advice"

I was diagnosed with emphysema 2 years, over a period of time i found i was getting breathless really quickly which i found frustrating & struggled with. I was referred to pulmonary rehab to learn how to manage my breathing. Initially i was apprehensive, but the ladies at rehab were brilliant.

Nothing is too much trouble, they listen to you're concerns, & certainly for me, point you in the right direction to find the right help. I was told just before i started rehab i would need to be on oxygen for 16 hours a day, but karen, one of the nurses was determined she could get my oxygen levels up. Success. After 6 weeks my levels are up, not to 100%, but better than they were. I'm now discharged for this year, but will be back next year. The service & advice this course provides are invaluable & much appreciated.
