Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi Marsha, Welcome to the group. I am sorry about your diagnosis. This group is great in that you learn so much from others as well as you feel less isolated. It is definitely a life-changing disease. It sounds like you still enjoy your life, get out, and stay active. Good for you. I am 64 and a grandma of only one. I am hoping for more grandchildren as my son was recently married. I am a widow as of 6 years and I was diagnosed with this 6 years ago ,although I probably had it since 2001/02. This site has really helped me. Cindi W.

I am a 65 year old grandmother (14 grandkids) and I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis 3 years ago. I am still very active. My husband and I travel quite a bit on our Honda Goldwing motorcycle. We are from the San Diego area but we have crossed the US on a few occasions on the Goldwing. It is great fun for us. We are retired now but prior to that we lived in Mexico City for a few years and then Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after that. We then returned home to So. California. I am anxious to read your old and new articles since there seems to be so little mainstream information on Bronchiectasis. Thanks again for allowing me in!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I want to thank everyone for their stories. It has really given me a lot to think about. I go to the doctors tomorrow to pick a date for the surgery and give me the results of the MRI of the brain, t & c-spine. This whole thing is very scary for me!! My doctor, I'm told, is the best doctor in the New England area so I feel pretty good about her. I was against the operation until my legs started getting weak and shakey. I went to the beach we always go to for the 1st time this summer and it has a little hill and I almost couldn't make it up it. Then my legs were dead for the rest of the day. My big toe is half numb and the last 2 days it is moving a little down my foot. I've decided to have the surgery to pervent more damage and I hope it hasn't done too much damage already and I will get my strength back in my legs. Thanks for listening and keep your comments suggestions and stories coming Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
