It's father's day and my dad is in the hospital. He has severe COPD. He won't let me visit long. He runs me off saying he will rest better if he is alone. His Pulmonologist told me today that there is nothing more that can be done except to make him as comfortable as possible. I can't stop crying. No need for any replies. I'm just alone right now and needed to tell someone.Oh my heart sank when I read your post. My Dad spent three weeks in the hospital this past winter. We came very close to losing him and it was terrifying. We dread that our entire lives, since we're children. I have no words of wisdom, only want to let you know you're not alone.I am so very sorry to hear your news about your dad. My heart goes out to you. I can relate to your feelings, my dad died when I was 11. I am praying for you and your dad. love and peaceful hugs, juliah I'm so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers w/ you and your family.I'm so sorry to hear that your father is so ill. Having lost my father in my late 20's, I too can relate to the feeling you must be having.. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers....

I lost my dad very suddenly a while ago and I had no time to say goodbye so I can feel what you are going through and am so very sorry.Keep trying, its all you can do but worth the effort.Maybe he is just trying to protect you from his illness and what he is coping with.
My thoughts are with you
Everyone,
Thanks for your kind words.
No one can ever tell me stress doesn't cause a flare. I am hurting so bad. Going back on prednisone. RD is calling in Lortab to replace the Darvocet which I just had refilled. Think the pharmacist will think I'm a junkie?
My girlfriend has COPD and I know how scarey it is. I undrstand this is a hard way to lose your Dad. My prayers are with you kweenb. I am so sorry. Love and hugs
