Re: IPF and treatment Margaret McConnell

Hi Margaret:

Just wanted to know how you are keeping.

I have completed my 8 week pulmonary rehab program at the local hospital and

decided to continue with the drop in program 3 days a week. I have started

walking the dog, driving, exercising, going grocery shopping and helping my wife

with Dish washing I fill the dishwasher and empty it once the dishes are done.

Keeps me in the good book with my lovely wife. Since the program I am noticing I

am not as tired as before. I am breathing a little easier with the techniques

they taught at the program even though my lungs are as crappy as before. My last

respirator visit she said that I was stable and had not deteriorated since Nov

2008. I am hoping to keeping the disease at bay by doing all I can to delay and

defer its advancement.

Please let me know how you are handling your daily struggles.

Regards

Pravin
