Steve

First Sher, forgive me for coming to the back door like this......perhaps you'll understand in a moment. What I am asking for are all details of Steve's death that you may have. I hope you can trust me.......that I'm not being ghoulish here.........I have asked, and not received an answer from docs, etc, "what does it look like to die from IPF"? I know it is not what I'd thought originally (awful), but peaceful and serene for the most part. This latest illness of mine has served to remind me.........there is definitely a "limit". I lost alot of function in the last 9 days. My doc ( whom I trust hugely) told me on Fri that "I would not be surprised to hear that you'd died in 30 days, nor would I be surprised to see you alive in a year". I'm not obsessing on it Sher, it's just that it sounds like one day Steve is traveling, the next day he's dead. I'd appreciate whatever you may be able to share. Please do not despair, I'm okay, I'm settled.............jim

ps.....wish I knew a good joke to tell you.......
