Hi to all! I'm finally up again and connecting with the board. Have no explanation (well no SHORT one) as to the problems I have encountered.My PFT (last friday) shows minimal progression in the last 3 months. That's a good thing!My RT and PT tell me I am "still numb" from this recent dx and I have an assignment to put on my little backpack and go out in public with o2. I've been so dreading it...rehab tells me there are three things pf pts. have a struggle with...acceptance of the fatal disease; yes, o2 is necessary and yes, I have to go out in public.I've been walking pretty well. 2.0, 1% grade for about 25 minutes. Friday I walked only 17 min.I need to be more grateful that right now, oxygen is a good thing for me and it does help! I think I've been feeling pretty sorry for myself. Time I get off the pity-pot and move more. I did take my Lola (mini doxie) for a walk, twice! I did walk the treadmill 10 min @ 2.0 I will do another 10 min this evening.I browsed through most of the emails while I was disconnected from the board. My replies bounced back. I am going to try and fwd them on even though they are late.Hugs to all. Sher ipf-5-06
