Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Big {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} back to you ladybug. I am assuming Bruce is on his trip, right. it is quite.. LOL Love and Prayers, Peggy ipf 6/04 Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up." Peggy... I'm glad to hear you "are good". I think of you so often.Always warm hugs to you.Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Re: Re: JoyceJoyce my sweet friend, I am so sorry you have had such a rough day but I am praying this will help find help for you. I think the H. bed is not such a bad thing. They are bringing an electric aren't they?? When I had my hip replacement ( gosh that is 20 years ago now) I had one for a month that had to crank up and down. Royal Pain.I do hope you rest really good tonight.Love and Prayers, Peggy ipf 6/04 Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up."Leanne,I was so very impressed.....and you know I don't impress easily where docs are concerned. I was in his office for 3 hours and was so tired when I left. He is beyond thorough. He wants to try some new stuff, mostly scary stuff. He is going to get together with my Rheumatologist and discuss treatment. Last ditch type of stuff. He thinks that I might qualify for transplant at another center. Since he came from Duke, he of course is singing the praises. We can not relocate. Indy would be the closest, but probably wouldn't do it. He was not acting positive about that. So we will see. He said he would take my file home with him tonight and do some reading. He is scheduling tests etc. I am so tired but here I go. He talked to me about transtrachea, but my hubby is totally not for that. We'll see. A very long day, some new options. Cannot undo damage, but maybe have a little better quality of life. I felt real positive about it all, but I am plastered! Get my hospital bed on Thursday. That is going to be traumatic. God's blessings on Wednesday. Love you.Hugs, Joyce D.PULMONARY FIBROSIS/LUPUS 1997 BRONCHIECTASIS 2004 INDIANA 2 COR. 12:10 ....when I am weak, then I am strong.>> Joyce,> > Thinking about you.....How did it go today?> > Love,> Leanne> > > ---------------------------------> Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Gwynne... Lola will be 2 in Feb. We have her at the vet too, for some sort of skin disorder. Can't seem to get rid of it. Mon. we go to a dermatologist. For dogs. Never heard of this before but haven't had this problem before either. I'm so glad to hear Misha is ok. Our neighbors dog did have a good ending.... Have a good weekend! Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Sher Mama-Sher,Thanks for asking: Misha seems to feel completelyback to normal. The vet may never completely figureout what attacked her liver, but whatever it isapparently is something that can be treated andcured. What a relief!!?? How old is Lola?Hugs,Gwynne IPF 7/04 listed for transplant 3/07 Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Oh when we were younger there were just vets and today there is everything possible for our pets. MRI's, Special Surgery Centers. Sher's taking hers to a dermatologist. Marli has, although she hasn't needed anytime lately, an Opthalmologist. No, she doesn't wear glasses. But, she had an eye infection when younger the vet couldn't clear up, so across town we went. Have to have a referral from a vet...lol. I just love dogs and cats. (And bears, too, Rosebud). > > Gwynne... Lola will be 2 in Feb. We have her at the vet too, for some sort of skin disorder. Can't seem to get rid of it. Mon. we go to a dermatologist. For dogs.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Bruce... what times we live in... have to pay $105 up front before dermatologist will see Lola! (on c/c) Holy Cow! Yeah, I wonder what it would be for a cow!!! I shook my finger at Rosebud and told her not to get sick or out the door she goes! lol Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
