Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008  J/J...I'm with you about the moving more. I don't do a LOT more but I do move more. Take advantage of being in the stores and walk a bit there. I've been busy in our apt cleaning closets and crap I have put off for too long. Have one more closet I'm going to do as soon as I'm through here and then I'm pretty well caught up in every room. Sure feels good. I've been working on my secret-mission. I had no idea what I got myself into. I'm loving every minute of it but my mission is a lot of work. Slow. Like me. lol. I thought my mission would take me a few days, now I'm seeing it will be at least a few weeks! Your bike ride sounds like fun. Umpteen years ago I dated a guy w/a bike and we took a fairly bad fall on a gravel decline and I hurt my back permanently so I never got back on again...........Have fun for me.

Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! $.02 worth Once again I've been reading about dead beat doctors who, for whatever reasons, aren't meeting the needs of folks on the Board here. First, I have to say that there are genuine healers out there that are, unfortunately in my opinion, in the minority. In my case, in my pre- IPF days I had 2 oncologists. One of them I still see every 3-6 months. First he wants a CT scan to check that the cancer has not returned. After that the time is mine and much of it is spent discussing my lungs. He is damn busy, but he makes time to "treat" me. He has even researched pulmo questions to help me find answers. Anyway, that's not why I'm writing........I'm writing about Respiratory Therapists. I've only had contact with 2 so my experience is limited, but both are EXCELLENT sources of information, One does my periodic PFT, and the other runs the small company that rents me all my O2 equipment. This guy is available 24/7. I'm not able to do pulmo rehab because I choose to live 350 miles from Anchorage so this guy makes himself available by phone. I'm making this way too long and drawn out. In my experience, both of these RTs provide me with as much or more info than any MD. Like anything else, there are bound to be duds, but I've had great experience with them. jim IPF 05 alaska Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
