Sher, When did Vicky post this ? I didn't get it. I found one from Z answering her too, it was in my junk folder.Yahoo is just making me nuts.  You know I can stand to miss posts. I couldn't find it on the board either. Vicky what is your blog address? You can send it to my e-mail if you like. I am having trouble getting posts.  GGGGGGRRRRRRRR   Love and Prayers, PeggyIPF  2004,  Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back,  Faith looks up." Vicky...oh how lucky you are to have such a wonderful loving brother. I remember our conversation about him and how much you love each other.I was beginning to be afraid the depression may have raised it's ugly head again and I gave it 'till today and was going to call tomorrow....I will call tomorrow. It's to late now.Doggone it Vickie, you stopped posting and you changed....your first few posts after being off for so long were so cheerful. Ya come on back now, ya hear me? We need you too. You've been around a couple of years and know a lot of us.I know how tired you get of just dealing with it all. I won't let you throw the baby out with the bath water! We can get through it together Vickie.Gwynnie is fighting her way "back" and Joyce will too and you can too. Did you read the mail from Gayleen? If not, see if you can find it. Wow, what she has been through. It doesn't mean some of us don't post because there are others who have it "worse"...we need to cheer each other along...wherever we are. Seeing your posts Vickie, help me because I remember how much you have been through. Don't give up!I'll call you tomorrow...around noon your time so I know you'll be up.A big hug to you. Mama-Sher, age 69.IPF 3/06, NSIP 4/08 OR. Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!  (Breathe Support) My dr visit ,my blog and my brotherHI everyone, I havent posted too much lately, I've been having so much pain, shortness of breath and depression I didn't wanna bring anyone down. Besides, what Joyce is dealing with, far out weighs anything I have to say. First I do want to say how happy I am for Gwynne, I just cried when I saw she got the call, I'm so happy for her.  As for me, my dr had ordered full bloodwork and a HRCT. I went to see him today to get the results. MY brother went with me as my husband had to work. Come to find out, my bloodwork has improved, my breathing is a little worse, a few new spots on my lungs but mainly inflamation which is why I hurt and am having trouble breathing. So he put me on 30mg of Prednisone for 3 days, then 25, then to stay at 20. I am a responder to steroids really well. It made me feel good mentally just to know I was going to start feeling better. But the main reason I'm writing this to you is to show what a strong bond and true love exsists between my brother and I.The following is what I posted on my space page and my brothers reply. Thursday, April 10, 2008 Let Me Go Current mood:  sick Category: LifeHi everyone, guess you can tell by my headline what I want. I'm so tired of the pain, the being tired and exhausted all the time. I cant even shower myself and get dressed by myself. I feel like I'm slowly suffocating to death, which I guess is what I'm doing. I had bloodwork done and a High Resolution cat scan done and I see my specialist on Monday. If he says I am worse, I want to be admitted into the hosp and just let me slip away quietly. Oh it hurts so much to think about leaving my family but I don't think I can take anymore. I don't tell many people when I'm in a lot of pain. My husband sees it daily, he even admitted it tonite he could see me getting worse. My brother believes me too, he knows I really do hurt. I call him a lot and I know  he stresses out easy so I shouldnt but he's my brother, he's been there from the beginning, thats why I have pictures on here of him holding me when I was a baby. I see people walking around with no oxygen and I think , Do they know or even realize how lucky they are? I don't know why this happened to me, it's a horrible monster of  a disease, it eats away at your body and mind. But I'm not letting it get my soul, that belongs to God. I will let ya'll know what my dr tells me when I see him Monday. I love you all.   His reply..........To my sweet, beautiful, loving. caring and most of all My Sissy. I love you soo much. I want you to know how much you have helped me in my life. You always belive in me even when I did not belive in myself. You always have an answer to a question that I trust and find comfort in your answer. If you only knew how special of a person you are. You have always been my hero too. Not just because you are my sister, but the way you have the respect from everyone that knows you. You are rich in so many ways. You have a Husband that loves you so much. Your children, Mom would be very proud of you. Thay are great kids and will do well. You have made a difference. And that is something that makes your life a huge suscess.
