Ch... Ch... Changes

Ch... Ch... Changes

(RIP to all of the AMAZING artists we have lost recently.)



Hey everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying the nicer weather! 

Yes, there are big changes coming up in my life. Some have already started. Some good and some bad. Some just eh. Haha!

 My father, who also has COPD and I lived with, bought a house in Missouri. He MOVED the day he closed and received the keys. Hasn't been back since. 

 Left me and my lil one in our family home to clean it and prepare it for sale. With NOTHING we actually needed. 

 You know, things like trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels? 

 And no money to pay for housekeeping help, as he was a hoarder, no money to pay for lawn care, tree trimming. Eh, no matter. A dear friend has sent me money to purchase those items, and I even let an old friend move in temporarily to help clean in exchange for a place to stay. Trust me, I am going to owe HER for the cleaning! 

 I am incredibly lucky to have friends like that! 

 Oh! And my friend Heather brought me the Taco Bell I had been CRAVING! YES! 

 Also, a friend and former coworker has asked me to help him get his business up and running via social media promotion. So that is taking a good chunk of my time.

 When I first started HOPE for COPD, a totally different type of thing, I used to spend 40-50 hours a week on it! Now, I am helping him out a few hours at a time, and trying to enjoy the nice weather. 

 Haha, this is no money maker, just working off debt. He helped me out back in September and I have not been able to pay him back. So this is my way. 

 Since my father has decided to neglect his health, by not taking his medication for his PTSD, and raging out at me... My daughter and I will NOT be moving to Missouri. I cannot put my child in that situation. So, we are looking at buying that truck and camper/travel trailer very seriously. We will visit him, but not stay for more than a few days.  

 As it stands, the friend I have living here and helping me clean will be moving this morning. Sadly. But it has been so nice catching up with her! 

 Hopefully, life finds that nice bit of calm wind and stays with me so I can focus on my own things and get back on track! 

 Nothing is changing with HOPEforCOPD except the lack of time to spend on getting the website running, and scheduling posts. I promise, once things settle, I will be back full force! 

 Sincerely, 

 ~April

COPD apps. UPDATED 11/24/14

APPS... Whether you love them or hate them, they are here too stay.  I have found them to be a great way to help manage my COPD, and give me something to do when I am feeling too down to do much of anything.  Sure there  are games, you can even read books, watch videos. But, I am talking about the apps that are going to help you live better.  The apps I have inserted links  for , are all for Android, because that is what I am currently using. There is a good chance they are in the iTunes App store as well. And, all are  for  America. But of  course, there  are many great apps for other countries. Check them out! There are apps to help you manage and take your medications on time, remind you to refill them, and keep a log of all of this to take to the Dr.  office . The most comprehensive app I have found for this is the MediSafe Meds and Pill Reminder. I love it! The apps listed here are not COPD specific. They can be used for many...

Recommended blogs.

These blogs are great! For some, like myself, I love to read! I love to learn about everything! Especially, reading to learn about how to cope with my chronic illness! Hearing the stories others share on their blogs and websites is inspiring to say the least. Here is a list of the blogs and websites I read and recommend to others. COPD is such a complex illness. Everyone has a different experience, and for some, it is just one of many illnesses we must cope with. So, I do not discriminate. These blogs cover a everything. Not all are specifically COPD  related . But, they are about life ,  hope, and healing.
