Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I got my results from my PFT. Some numbers are about the same some are downright rotten. My FVC in July 0f 07 was 42%, Jan of 08 was 43%, Jul of 08 was 43%, Jan of 09 was 46%, and Jul of 09 it was 42% . I guess you would call that stable. My TLC in July 0f 07 was 51%, Jan of 08 was 67%, Jul of 08 was 42%, Jan of 09 was 71%, and Jul of 09 it was 48% . I feel like the 67% and the 71% were just a flukes. LOL My DLCO in July 0f 07 was 31%, Jan of 08 was 27%, Jul of 08 was 27%, Jan of 09 was 22%, and Jul of 09 it was 17% . There is a 5% drop from Jul of 08 to Jan of 09 and another 5% drop from Jan of 09 to this July. Sure are not good numbers. If it drops another 5% till Jan of 2010 it would be down to 12%. I don’t know if you can live at 12%. I am not getting around well at all. I have extra stools all over the house to plop in as I am so SOB. I have not recovered well from my 5 days in the Big House with Pneumonia and Salmonella (Jul 18 to 22). Have to use my power chair when I get out. I haven’t used it in the house as of now. I know that will be problem with my 50 foot hose.
