I have compromised lungs and have a lung machine that I use only when I really need it. My doctor says I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't know but I remember when I've been sick enough where it was difficult to take more than 2-3 steps without feeling completely winded. Take care and do check out getting a generator for Xmas....especially if your sis is loaded!
