4/20/02 I was diagnosed in May 1999, I was going to have some spinal surgery and told my Dr. that I had COPD and he referred me to a pulmonary specialist.  He told me without even doing the recommended tests what I had.  I had the surgery, which worked wonderfully and started on Prolastin in March 2000.  I have my good days and bad days, but I refuse to let this disease get to me.  I am the only one in the family who has this and luckily all of my children don’t have it either.  They are carriers only.  I still run the two younger kids around to dance, soccer, and hockey and I try to go to all of their function.  It is getting harder on me but I am stronger than this disease.
