Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 the endocrinologist told me that right after the transplant, the prednisone is so high, they put you on insulin until they can start decreasing the prednisone Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: Re: Re: thank you PattiTo: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, December 4, 2009, 5:50 PM Patti: welcome Hooser, I'm 68 and I could have had a transplant, but because Of my diabetis meds, I can't they would interfear with the post operative meds <FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#40007f size=3> Soulliere & nbsp; <IMG src="http:// us.i1.yimg. com/us.yimg. com/i/mesg/ tsmileys2/ 50.gif"></FONT> From: Patti <napa73 (AT) comcast (DOT) net>To: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comSent: Fri, December 4, 2009 5:47:47 PMSubject: Re: thank you Patti Pravin.....thanks you so much the warm welcome to the group....... .If I may ask why did they take you off the transplant list?
