Cees,

When it rains - it poors. Hope you feel better quickly. Make sure to Dr. gives

you adequate paid meds, nothings worse than not being able to sleep because of

pain. And get some zanax for the anxiety.

I cant believe that your insurance company does not cover wheelchairs, that

sucks. I think you can probably rent one fairly cheap though. Check it out.

Feel better.

Cees,

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. This is awful. All I can do is pray

for you, and I will. You have every right to be depressed. I pray that your

pain will be lessened and your healing will be speedy.

Cees,

How terrible to take a fall like that. Call you doc and tell him you need a stronger pain med and something to help you sleep! Don't suffer if you don't have to.

Hope you get better soon! C_53_Familial IPF_5/09Washington
