Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009  .... as posted, 'we're as good as gold until we don't feel good'. I'm sorry you are not feeling so good since coming home from the Big House. I remember some time back when you posted about putting stools around the house. Good idea. God Bless ! MamaSher; 70, IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! New PFT test 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.
