I started in 2012 and its the best thing we can do with our lung diseases. I really believe I would not be here if not for rehab. Since my lungs have gotten so bad my cardio plulmonary have gave me my treadmill I used there for years, They thought my dedication to pulmnary rehab that I should get my treadmill as they were getting two new ones. I do the treadmil here 7 days a week and 30 min on very slow speed 1.3 with 8 lpm onygen. It helps me as I do not do much or go out much.
