Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thank you for the thought, , but it is a small business so it is exempt. I will see my pulmonologist on December 11 to get additional test results, and we will talk about disability then. By the way, thank you for the comment about making lists. My last appointment ended with about a dozen unasked questions. Have to do better!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Leanne B. We can just use your last name initial. That is what I do because there is another Joyce. Tell us a little about yourself. We get to know each other pretty quickly. When many of the posts are about mucus and bodily functions, the familiarity just happens. Have you been reading posts? We are a chatty group. No one else wants to hear us moan and groan, so we come here. I have learned so much here and continue to learn.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Joyce ... I am new to the group -- actually really new to this diagnosis. I am 63 years old, live in Phoenix, Arizona, and was diagnosed because I got a bad chest x-ray when having a preoperative workup for a silly little elective surgery. I am a legal secretary who found out yesterday that my full time position has been "taken" by someone else in the office. The pressure now is for me to quit so they don't have to let me go. I don't think so. If they let me go, I get unemployment compensation. And as far as the name goes, I kind of like Petunia. It connects with my family and makes me giggle. I am absolutely awed by this group. I suspect a lot of my friends just can't deal with this kind of news, and I became used to having to just suck it up and not talk about it. One very lovely lady (who is 23 years younger than me) cautioned me that I was "scaring" myself by researching on the Internet. Something like this definitely tells us which of our friends are flexible enough to face reality with us. And however much we care about the friends who can't face it (or they care about us), I believe I need to limit my exposure. So I am trying to find my way. I am an animal lover with two dogs and two cats. Am facing today that I may have to find other homes for them. If I have to move into an apartment, I cannot have them all. It feels like amputating a limb or two. Nuff. Petunia IPF 06/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
