Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks so much PinkJ. I'm working on a new album, Mama Sher's Goodies so I can edit and/or delete/or add photos. The older one is so full and I can't delete as I choose. MB is going to help me with the older one. I'll be current soon. Yippee. MamaSher, age 70. IPF 3-06, OR.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Sher It's Amber the red headed twin. They will be 17 the day after Christmas. I just sent my Dr an e-mail asking how long she would be contagious and she sent one right back saying my condition is to fragile to risk exposure. So Little Amber is just broken hearted. I told her I will bring her up here for their spring break. This is going to be such a strange Christmas for us. But it's ok. I just hate it that this may be my last and I can't be with everyone. I do think we have enough memories of Christmas' past.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Sher, Doing okay for the most part. I had annual check-ups in Anchorage the 1st week of Dec. No sign of cancer and no change in the IPF. It was good news.........except at the time I was sicker than a dog. I've just finished a course of septra for another lung infection. When the pulmo-dude gave us the news both Eva and I thought of the same question, "then why do I need more O2". (I'm at 8 LPM now) We asked......and this is his answer, I kid you not...."Well Jim, with this disease some people progress rapidly with very few symptoms, but you seem to experience symptoms without any significant progression". I didn't know whether to laugh in his face or come up-side his head. He instantly went from pulmo-dude to pulmo-jerk-off. He is leaving the practice, already one foot out the door, and I'll see a new guy in June so we just blew him off. You know, there are so many facets to this disease but one that bugs me big time lately is having to educate professionals. I fully agree that we need to be informed patients, that we are in charge and should be active as opposed to passive with our treatment, but sometimes.........sometimes I just want to sit back and let someone else do the driving....know what I mean? Yet I know that I must accept responsibility for this situation simply because I have chosen to live here. For awhile we thought of moving to Seattle to be near Dr Raghu at the U of W. Neither of us could bare the thought of that......quality of life, and all that. So I'll just keep complaining and enjoying the peace and quiet (and cold).

I'm thinking it's a big step to call Hospice but I have great faith in most of them. Don't forget our faithful "list of questions" and that will help in feeling comfortable with them I think. There have been many who went to Hospice. I think Vicky is the latest. She seems to be doing ok again, right now anyway. I'm sorry for the progression Amy. Hugs and prayers. MamaSher, age 70.

At this time I have had to increase to 10 -15 lpm just to stay in mid 90s. I have began looking into Hospice. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Jim... thanks for the update. Yes, I remember in Dec you had good reports! I hope the infection is gone w/the septra. That was rather a strange comment by the pulmojerk as you called him...lol. I sure do hope the new guy will be someone you like right away! I do understand about getting weary...I've said it before, we don't give up we just give out. I'm glad you like it so much where you are. I'm thinking peace and quiet ain't half bad. That is a HUGE undertaking to move to Seattle at this point. Enjoy your 'quality' Jim. Post to us occasionally...I miss hearing from you. MamaSher, age 70. IPF 3-06, OR.
