Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Dear Sher, Thank you so much for the delightful afternoon and for the bracelets and book. I just finished reading your story and I am amazed at all you've been through. You are a testament to the strength of the human spirit-you've never given up no matter the circumstances and you still have so much love to share with others. Thank you for sharing with me, you are such a special lady. God bless you-Sher K Bauman wrote: Hi Judy from Sher.... I'm 68, diagnosed a year ago and stable for that year. I'm in Oregon. Welcome to our board. Every question will find someone who knows an answer and help you. Hope you are having a good evening. Sher ipf 3-06 "Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there" New Member My name is Judy and I am a 67 yr old divorced grandmother living alone in Danville, IL and diagnosed by an Indianapolis pulmonary doctor with IPF 9 Nov 06 after a long time of coughing and shortness of breath that previous doctors kept blaming on my Asthma, viruses, etc. Still employed but starting sick leave on Mon. Have 3 sons, 1 in IN, 1 in OH and 1 in HI. On my Christmas trip to HI I had a severe nose bleed and was hospitalized 4 hours after my arrival after using oxygen (1st time) from Chicago to Honolulu. Started Pulmonary Rehab in Jan back here in IL but when they had me do the 6 min. walk & monitored my O2 they stopped me after 2 min because my Sats dropped too low & I was put on oxygen 24/7 that evening. Although my job is doing cost reporting and analysis & I've gone to work 3 days since 26 Jan, the logistics are too hard on me. Prepared the project report this past Thur. from home (telecomute) but by the end of the day was exhausted and breathless and realized I need to focus on breathing and my health not cost reporting. Had to reschedule my follow up with my pulmonary doctor to 23 Feb due to snow and cold air here this week, but he has also referred me to a lung transplant team in Indy. Because of the severity of my condition I had to cancel a trip back to HI to see my new grand daughter born 28 Jan. Also need thyroid surgery. Determined to get better but sometimes get depressed. Whomever it was that first called IPF a monster sure was right. 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with theYahoo! Search movie showtime shortcut.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Welcome to the group! It is wonderful to know there is always someone there for us. I am blessed and doing well. I am no longer of supplemental oxygen and life is going very well. I can primarily attribute this to how wonderful and awesome God is.
