Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Lady Gwynne, You are so special. I do pray you get "THE CALL" soon.Love and Blessings to you. Love and Prayers, Peggyipf 6/04Worry looks around.Sorry looks back,Faith looks up. Oh, ,You've made my day! What wonderful news!!!((((((((hugs)))))))))) If I have a new lung, you knowI'll be in California. What a dreamy thought.Caro,Can't believe I failed to mention your birthday.HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes, even if belated. I'mglad you had one of your best Bdays ever -that's fantastic! On the flip side, I'm terriblysorry you've got pneumonia - yuk! Hope themeds stop messing you up and kick in soon.You need to see a pulmonologist asap, and it'sappalling that your pulmo left you in a lurch!Peggy,NO MORE of this cough and chest tightnessbusiness! Take extra good care of yourself,and make the big guy pamper you. You HAVEto get well - you've got big plans.Dawn,Funny, I can't drink icy cold water - it makes mecough. Oh, well.It sounds to me like you very likely need to makean appointment with a good gastroenterologist.Even though you're on Nexium, that may not becontrolling your GERD. I take Nexium, but I alsohave to take a med called Reglan (metoclopramide)in order to keep things under control. I don't getthe burning sensation - ever- but I've had manytests that show reflux. If they hadn't been ableto improve that, it may well have kept me frombeing listed for transplant. You don't want to foolaround with GERD under any circumstances, though.Just a thought....Babs,I hate that people have genetic predispositions toillness. You've had such a heavy load to carry for solong, and still your sweetness shines through. Thankyou for showing us such strength - what an inspirationyou are. Chaz is a lucky man.Bruce,I hope you get a spa visit as soon as you're all better.I'll be hoping you get lots of good information Friday.I KNOW you'll go prepared. I'm sure you and the newdoc will figure out what the right path is for you.However... WATCH OUT what you say about mexicanfood, my friend. Remember you have some native Texanson board. Many of us think the hype is well-deserved!If there isn't tex mex in heaven, I don't wanna go.Irene,I'm glad your plan is to rest for several days, atleast, and that you have 2 days off work. You'vebeen on my mind an awful lot lately - what a mountainof stuff you've had to cope with. Extra hugs and loveare headed your way!Kathie,Thanks tons for the photo, lovely lady! It's great tohave a face to connect to the posts and chats., , ,I'll bet if you had a back massage by my masseuseyou'd change your mind. Sometimes she uses hotstones, but she doesn't just rest them on my back.She uses them to rub my back, neck, and shoulders.I tell you, she's got the magic touch. But I DO love agood foot or scalp massage too. It's all good!! Lou,Your doctor news is amazing. I would be veryexcited too. No crackles - what an incrediblethought. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!,It's crummy that you're dealing with vertigo. Idon't have it, but a good friend of mine hassuffered from it for years. Hers is definitelyaffected by stress. I hope you get some reliefSOON - this is something you don't need rightnow (or ever!).Leanne,It does my heart good to hear that you went tothe beautiful salt caves. I wish you could goevery week. We all need to do something thatfeels like pampering once in a while, preferablyoften. I hope you are having lingering good effectsfrom the experience.FYI, my latest LAS score was 47.8. gulp.Our dearest Queen,When I broke my femur and was stuck in bed formonths, I thought the pain in my tailbone woulddo me in. It was nearly unbearable - I was beggingfor a pressure point injection. I will certainly be sayingprayers for your comfort and pain relief, and thatyou and Lucian will learn how to administer thenew meds without much difficulty. God bless youand keep you strong.Hugs and blessings,Gwynne IPF 7/04 listed for transplant 3-07 & 2-08 Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
