I hear ya Bloop. I will never understand why some people are diagnosed with this disease and yet I see a 90y/o still smoking for so many years and nadda health issues. I just want to yell out sometimes " I don't want to live this new normal!!! Put it back the way it was!" All of us no matter what we have done in our past do not deserve to battle this disease.
Sigh.... But we have to. Atleast we are here living life and able to complain about it. wink
