How will Pulmonary Rehab affect my relationships with friends and family?
Chances are, you’ll be amazed how much more you can do with friends and family after Pulmonary Rehab. With increased stamina and mobility, many patients are able to perform more functions in the home, such as cooking and self-care, which eases the burden of time and worry on family and friends. Family members are always welcome at the educational classes and breathing club meetings, so they can understand more about your condition. Most patients also find they’re able to go out more, socializing at restaurants, movies and on other outings. Intimate relationships are also improved. Typically, Pulmonary Rehab participants see significant increases in their social activities as they begin to feel more like their “old selves”.
