< I was forced to stop working a year after 911.   I worked close to the Twin Towers, in NY and  I inhaled a lot of that air.  I am now on oxygen therapy. But I don't let it get me down, I use my oxygen only when I am exerting myself, and in my area where I live there are hills, so I have to use the oxygen when I walk.  But enough of the boring stuff.  I am always ready, willing and able to help out when needed. I am very independant.  I still go shopping for myself, and anything else within reason.  I don't like to depend on anyone if I can do it myself (that's my downfall).But If someone wants to give me a hand I won't refuse. I have a son and two lovely grandchildren living in North Carolina, they would love for me to live with them but I'm not ready to give up my freedom yet.  I also have a granddaughter in Florida, who is nineteen now and I love her so much.  I haven't seen her since she was 5 years old. As I stated before I don't go out much (but I would love to).  I don't drive and I am disqusted with NY transit now a days.  My neighborhood doesn't have much going on that interests me.  Years ago I use to love the summer, now I rather go out in the fall or even winter so I could feel the cool air on my face.  I use to go to the parks (Central Park, Botanical Gardens etc.) but as I said traveling in NY is not easy the older you get.  I had a wonderful companion whom I called my godfather.  He passed away a couple of years ago. I use to go on lots of trips with.  I truly miss him.
