Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh good, Peggy...if it comes with instructions (duh) I can probably follow. All this electronic stuff is really something. I never heard of this until you mentioned it. Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sher, They plug into any USB port on your computer and that enables you to transfer any data that's on your computer onto the stick. Once it's on there it can be plugged into any computer and the info can be read. It's nice to know if I can't speak for myself, my records are with me to speak for me!

Joyce will be telling the importance I'm sure. I am so glad I have all mine. I am going to have My Dr. copy my records to a memory stick and it can be read from any computer.. I don't know who came up with that but I think it's great. Put it on your key chain and you have records to go.. They cost less than 20.00. ipf 6/04 Worry looks around. Sorry looks back, Faith looks up. Folks, Had PFTs yesterday. Nurse called in the afternoon. Gave me no numbers; all she said was "Mild impairment, severe restriction. A script has been written for Advair BID." Needless to say, when I questioned her she told me that she'd have the pulmonologist (who I really liked) call me today after I wake up from my sleep. (I work nights and am writing this from work...) It sounds to me like mild inpairment in gas exchange, severe restriction in lung compliance, but who knows? (The doctor...) I'm curious to know how much this is asthma vs COPD... brud+-- God is good; everything else is a lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I didn't know what a memory stick was and my step son told me that he had one coming in the post. I was picturing a large stick with feathers and bones strung to it sort of native american style! Love Ze xx> > > > > > > > > > Folks,> > Had PFTs yesterday. Nurse called in the afternoon.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Depends on how they have their records stored.....my doctors still have records all manual and scans and xrays all on disk. > > > > > Folks, > Had PFTs yesterday.
