My place is all one floor. But I'm on the seventh floor. It's run by the local

housing authority. In family units, you have to pay utilities separately. But,

in disabled and elderly, all utilities are included in the rent. I pay my rent,

cable, phone and internet. My place is also a federal subsidy. I've found that

Federal units are better maintained than the state subsidies. We have both in

town, all run by the housing authority.

> BJ...being disabled is not a requirement...just being our ages gives us the

same rental. Well, no that's not right either. There are some handicapped units

here...bigger shower, cupboards different in the kitchen, all downstairs of

course. Wheelchair equipped.

> There are so many people needing housing now that starting the process sure

doesn't hurt anything. Everything seems to take so long. Even on your

end....getting some boxes and wondering where do I start.

> We've been waiting for a downstairs unit for nearly 3 years. But when one

opens we like we are better so don't move. Naturally, I will need to be

downstairs but I guess not right now. Actually we like being upstairs for the

privacy and security but as I become more sob it's a bigger problem.

school keeps them up always mowed and green. So we know nothing will be built

there...

too.

notice that you hadn't been posting and I mentioned it to my wife, but we have

had my son, DIL, and 2 grandkids (2 & 5 yrs. old),

the computer other that 10 minutes, 3 different days. My butt is dragging

trying to be involved in the activities and I do feel very tired all the

time----only three more days and they will be going back to Olympia, Wa.

PFTs and everything is exactly the same except for my DLCO---it has dropped from

55% down to 49%. In the last 10 months it has dropped from 68% to 49%, so

needless to say it is starting to make me nervous.

usually been the " rock " of the group? Hope everything is OK and we can

contribute it to the weather? I did hear you talking about going to the U of W

medical hospital for an evaluation? I just talked to my Dr about checking at

the U of W for a transplant evaluation, so I may go there also, but I don't know

when.

the trip up to Washington again and I can meet up with you guys again.
