That's not how you want to live your life.  You are a strong person and you want to live a long and healthy life.  Fight the urge!  Hang in there!  You CAN do it!!! | 
 
  My husband has the same thing your dad had...I'm so sorry to hear you lost him.    
doortego...I'm sorry about your dad too. 
I watch my husband  struggle every day...he is now at 
18% lung Capacity - which is very 
very bad.  

   I have to check him every morning to make sure he's still breathing.  I already know he won't live long like this - but he's only 57 and it's really hard to accept it.
