Life With COPD

Hello, I am a 55 year old female with COPD. I cannot tell you how this has changed my life. I live on a sailboat in LA, not cal. Alittle down on my luck at this time in my life. COPD has put me in the hospital more then i would like. I catch cold, it goes straight to my chest. Have Student Loans which the government has to so politely been taking with my tax returns so i don't even get them now when i do get to work. I get a decent job, if u call 6.00hr decent,that is the going rate in LA. I have an attack,lose time at work and get let go. I only have 7yrs until i can collect my social security, that is if the govenment don't jerk that away also. I am living with a friend to whom i owe more money then i can possibly ever pay back. I know this seems alittle unethical but i just didn't know what else to do. If any good hearted people out there would like to help out i would honestly use the money to keep gas in my car,,find another job,and hope for the best,pay off hospital bills,$6,000 worth,,pay my doctor,another $400,pay my friend some of the money that has been used just keep me alive and well.i realize that in the long run the COPD will do me in. I can not promise anyone that i can pay this money back. I just want to get back on my feet and live long enough to collect my social security when i turn 62. I know some older folks will say that i should wait till im 65 so i get full benefits but i don't see where at this point that would feasable. If you smoke,,worked in places that might have chemicals,lots of dust or live with a smoker. Take care, smoke is bad, I moved to LA from PA where i worked in the Easter Grass factory there. I am sure that the dust and particals off of the easter grass made my COPD worse. thanks for reading my web page,,and my undieing appreciation to anyone who would be willing to help a middle aged woman out of a big bind. send donations to sandra patterson 1640 harbor dr. #122 slidell LA If you would if you would like to email me at footloose20001@yahoo.com i will read your letters and answere everyone of them.
