Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Kathy, I pray you will be listed and God will know best. Better waaiting for a ttransplant than the alternative. Steve 60 from WA IPF 2006 Parkinsons 2008 Alzheimers 2008 Reply-To: Breathe-Support To: Breathe-Support Subject: WaitingDate: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:04:31 -0000 Just want to say hello. I was dx'd with PF in 4/07 and placed on O2 2lpm that day. In November of 07, I was sent to Shands in Gainesville, Fl. for an appointment to see if they would accept me as a candidate..they did but was postponed for an evaluation for awhile. About 3 months later after another PFT done by local pulmonologist, I was sent back to Shands and after review, I was evaluatied for a lung transplant on 5/28 - 5/30. They are meeting today to review all of the testings and decide if I will be listed .........to say I am a bit tense is a big understatement. I realize this is not smart because if listed, I will be in a "state of waiting". Just needed to write this down.take care,Kathy floridaPF 4/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Not a problem, Steve… I’m 57 and other than having to lose a couple of pounds, I am fortunate to have no other issues. Ironic thing is that before this I had never had a broke bone, never smoked because I didn’t want anything to ruin my lungs, and was still playing organized soccer up until I moved up to the mountains of NH four years ago. Oh well… Steve aka…Knip 57 NH IPF 10/07 confirmed via VATS 12/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
