Greetings from the True North:Hi Folks:I have had IPF dx since 2005 but my symptoms have been there since 2003. I joined this group in Feb 2009 since my latest deterioration and have been helped by quite a few members on the board but especially by beth, Sher, Bruce, Geeta, K and Larry to name a few.When I joined in Feb I was of the opinion that my life was ending since I was rejected due to complications for a transplant after being on the Toronto List for over 3 years. You folks lifted my spirits when I needed it the most. Since doing the Pulmonary rehab in Feb and March and starting on doing yoga breathing exercising and walking I have stabilized my life. I have a great partner in my wife and my daughter and grand children and especially my pomeranion Prince. One needs to live each day to the fullest. As Bruce said to me in a

phone conversation I had with him he is enjoying his life now better than he he did before because now he understands the value of life. To all who reads this post please have faith in God and your true friends and family and your Journey will become a lot more bearable and meaningful.RegardsPravin

....I emailed Jim direct to his home many times but no reply...he ALWAYS replies. I've been very worried too. (james_wallman@...)

I checked database and there doesn't seem to be a telephone #.

MB, do you know it?

Sher

Thats one thing I'd ask each board member. It's fine if you don't want

your phone number public, but please share it with at least one or two

members so we can keep up. Thats like my latest update on MB came via NC

to FL to South Texas to me. But that allowed me to post it.

I've been called before by Sher when I was gone without warning and it

was very much appreciated.

Also, knows to notify the forum if anything happens to put me out

of touch.
