I'm not a very healthy person. Some of that is my fault (overweight leading to type-2 diabetes) and some isn't (COPD from industrial exposure leading to pulmonary hypertension and edema). My health problems are such that I'm not sure I'll be alive in ten years.
I'm trying to lose weight (which I am about 50% of the time) but there's nothing I can do about the COPD and its accompanying problems. Because of the edema, I'm on diuretics and that limits my ability to travel because I have to urinate every 20 minutes. Either that or I don't take the diuretics and the edema gets a lot worse. So far it's mostly in my legs, but some in my arms and hands.
Because of my COPD, I'm on nighttime oxygen. I'm wondering how long until I'm on 24-hour oxygen.
I'd love to do more travelling but my health prevents it.
It I could lose weight, it would help a lot, but we all know how hard it is to lose weight.
How healthy are you? Are you happy with your health? Let me know in the comments.
