Emphysema

What does it feel like?

Emphysema?

Take a breath and hold it-

While holding that breath … Take another breath on top of that – and hold it –

While holding that breath .. Take a third breath on top of that – and hold that – and then do it a fourth and  a fifth time

and maybe a 6th if you can

That is what emphysema feels like!!!

Big Lungs of  Stale Air in Emphysema

No more room in the chest to take in any fresh air

It is beyond discomfort – With no relief …

You cannot take a magic medicine

And  wake up the next morning

.. and finally take in a full deep breath of fresh air

Like you used to do

You have lost that blessing of life

Medicine and oxygen may help

But

The ability to feel a full breath of pure fresh air….

That feeling is gone forever…

Why did I not listen?
