Hi Peggy

[Guest guest]

Peggy,

Eddie has just joined the Caregivers' Site. I told him that

joined today, too. Fortunately, Eddie has his own computer in a

different room from my computer. So we're good for posting.

I read thru my tests today that I had at Emory. I was most

interested in the HRCT report. It was evaluated at Emory and was

also sent off to National Jewish for evaulation also. I guess that

is part of the study. This report states that I have underlying

NSIP, then IPF/UIP. Phew! I guess all those different kinds of

pulmonary fibrosis just stack up on the lungs! LOL!

Please keep in your prayers. She is doing all right, but I am

not even sure that she wants to work. My brother suggested that maybe

she needs a hairdo makeover, etc. because she does look like a

teenager. I don't know. I am baffled. I can only go one day at a

time. Maybe a job offer will come tomorrow! My brother is going to

look into the makeover aspect for me in Chattanooga.I just wish that

would go ahead and start teaching art lessons. We have office

space for free and why not? Let's pray that she will do this! She is

great with kids.

Peggy, I hope you are feeling alright. I know you have had some

difficulty. I am trying not to focus too much on checking my sats,

but try to go by feeling SOB. I know I did when I did the 6MW without

any O2 at Emory! It made me feel that I am REALLY bad! I have to do

that walk again on June 20th. Maybe the study drug will kick in !

Take good care, Peggy. I miss you & so much.

LOve & Toodles!

Jane... gee, NSIP, IPF/UIP.....I think this is my first time of being aware one can have three strains at once. I guess they are all strains of the same thing...PF.

I think about a lot. Teaching art work sounds like a winner doesn't it? She is SOOOOOO lucky to even have a skill she can turn into money!

How is she feeling about this option?

Heck, a makeover is good for any woman. Wish I could have one!

Hugs to you.
