Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Good Morning Friends, Just wanted to let you know I spent most of yesterday at the University of Chicago Pulmonary Center and I was so impressed. Started out with an hour meeting with the head nurse just talking about my medical history then on to get a CT scan like none I have ever had before. From there I spent a hour in the PFT lab breathing and walking and so on. The last appt. was the lab where they took 22 tubes of blood. I asked her if I got a blood transfusion when she finished! The nurse said the entire pulmonary team will meet on Monday and go over all my records (the file I brought with and all the new tests) and then I go back next Wednesday for a meeting with Dr. Strek. I must say I feel very nervous but I am taking my husband and two daughters for support. We got out of Chicago just in time as they were getting a winter storm as we left for Indianapolis. We are getting the same storm now in Indy but we are safe at home. So glad I found all of you!! Patti, 59, Indianapolis, IPF 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
