How has your life changed since your diagnosis?
Gloria: There has certainly been a lot of changes in my life since my diagnosis. I was working right up till the time I was diagnosed and, doing tours and I thought I could do it well into my eighties, but I had to stop because of my problem and my breathing. That's, the sad part about everything that's happened.
How has Best Care impacted your life?
Gloria: The help that I'm getting through my therapy has been really good. At one point I had a hard time even making my bed. It would take me about a half hour just to, to make a, a queen size bed. And I've noticed in the last couple of weeks after all this therapy, I am doing the bed in one go and that makes me very, very happy.
Do you have a message for others about the Best Care program?
Gloria: Anybody that happens to be in my position with COPD or breathing problems. I recommend this program highly. So please see your doctor and check into it. It's well worthwhile.
