you are phenominl women!Peggy wrote: By going off prednisone and the main reason is I have a gas range and my husband is doing the cooking... LOL LOL.. He's sitting here and told me to tell you that.. He is really doing a great job. My appetite and stomachare all of a sudden small. I fill up really fast. And it is so hard to breath if I over eat. I'm 5'3 and now am 210. I was 229.. Yep I waddled. now I sway gracefully. I think that makes me the president of the Chubby Club. Guy's can NOT comment on this post..

I am 5' 7" and weigh 295.

I will go into the Hosp. for three days for tests to see if I qualify for transplant. You have to be pretty healthy other than the IPF. My trans. Dr. says the main thing is walking because you have to get up right after surgery to exercise your new lung.. So that gives a little motivation to walk. We live in the Forest so I walk in my PJ's on my porch. I can't hardly relate to city living after two years here. So I don't have to tire out before I walk. Keep tryin' I'll keep prayin.

just seems like too much trouble to clean up and get dressed and go for a walk. After I take a shower I am worn out. Then there is the getting dressed part. I love my night gowns and pajama's. But I know if I am going to get this weight off I am going to have to do something or there won't be no lung for me. As for God's beauty, I know what you mean. When I sit outside on the deck, I can see mountains covered in trees for miles. It is beautiful and so relaxing. Peggy, how old did you say you were? Have you gotten assertive with you pulmonary Dr. yet? I will keep you in my prayers.Barb in KYPeggy wrote: Barb, Those numbers are great. I know you must feel better. God's blessings are always so wonderful. When I go outside to have my coffee in the mornings I just marvel at the wondrous beauty of Gods handy work. We

have so many birds, I love the humming birds.Are you doing some walking? I am trying so hard. I am just so weak but I know it's getting better because I was on the go all day yesterday.

I then prop myself up real good with five pillows and usually have a good nights sleep. The fact that I am taping the canula to my face at night has helped me keep it on. I wish the Dr. had thought of it sooner. Since I have been keeping it on through the night my oxy numbers are getting higher during the day. Can you believe this, my numbers have been between 93-95 all day long. When diagnosed I was 81, I believe God is working a miracle with me. Keep praying for me everyone as I am praying for all

I'mthinking it may be my thyroid growing again. I know this sounds crazy butIt's me..LOL Do any of you sleep on a wedge? I am trying to stay on one, not verysuccessfully. It's a 12" one maybe a smaller one would do.God Bless Peggy Love cheap thrills?
