Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Sher, Thanks for keeping us up to date about Vicky. She's quite a fighter! She seems to keep bouncing back from the most serious of situations. Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 64, fibriotic NSIP/o5/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked!

She had a very bad fall Saturday, backward, down some stairs. Walking up stairs and fell over backward, O2 tank and all. Hit her head on the sidewalk below with her body still "up" the stairs. Ambulance, 911, Hospice all responded. She went to ER, which they usually do not do when there is a DNR but since it was her head... No injuries, thank God. But she is plenty sore and bruised. Apparently her legs are the problem. Muscle atrophy. She is in a wheel chair and Hospice tells her she can't walk anymore! She doesn't agree, she can walk, "if I can stand up I can walk but I'm not steady. I can fall sideways really easy". Hospital bed was brought in...remember an apartment...and there is now wall to wall beds in the bedroom. She can't get to the computer (until it's moved) so I'm her "secretary". She said she could hear her husband Gene screaming into the phone when he called Hospice that "I can't do this anymore you have to do something, I'm trying but I can't do this anymore!" So she is of course worried about him and his stress. Another one of ours needing special prayers. OK. over and out..................... MamaSher, age 70. IPF 3-06, OR.
