Life with Emphysema In the morning, sometimes Fred has enough energy to splash a little water on his face. Sometimes, he doesn't. Fred's troubles start as soon as he is awake. "When he gets up and sits on the'side of the bed, you'd swear he was breathing his last breath", says his wife Irene. "He can't even take the 20 short steps from his bed to the bathroom without stopping to gasp for breath. Once he gets there, brushing his teeth is a major obstacle which drains, his energy." Fred has severe emphysema. He worries about money. "Emphysema is an expensive disease," he says. He and Irene live on a pension and will soon have to sell their house because they can't pay the taxes. Fred started smoking when he was 18. For decades, he was a chain smoker. He's had emphysema for 15 years. "I ignored all the symptoms. I kept pushing myself. I ignored those first feelings of breathlessness and kept right on smoking", he says. He knows now, too late, that smoking is the major cause of emphysema. Emphysema is a lung disease that usually develops gradually, not suddenly. The walls of the air sacs in the lungs are destroyed. Stale air gets trapped in the lungs, which become overinflated. People who have emphysema, like Fred, feel as if they are drowning in a sea of air. Your contribution to the 1979 Christmas Seal Campaign (now unde way in Durham Region) cn help people like Fred. Christmas Seal dollars fund research into improved detection and treatment methods for all lung disease. At a local level, they provide Durham Region Lung Association with the funds to operate Better Breathing Classes, distribute Cold Weather Protection Masks and give financial assistance. In most cases, emphysema could have been prevented. Watch for its early symptoms - shortness of breath, chronic cough and tiredness. Stop smoking. And help Durham Region Lung Association fight all the lung cripplers by answering your Christmas Seal letter. It's a matter of life and breath. Quote - "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." Orono hockey mothers, a group of enthusiastic young mothers of the area have just made another contribution to the fund-raising committee of Orono Arena.
