Short Bio

I am 76 years old married 51 years 1 daughter, two grand kids and one great grand child. I became ill in February 2020 and spent 17 days hospitalized with pneumonia and later diagnosed as having IPF.
My Dr. spoke with my wife about my case and that he could not give her how much time that I might have left so we decided it would be best if I went on hospice. I am at this time on oxygen at 3 liter ad do breathing treatments as needed. I have a hospice nurse checking on me once a week. and although I get tired & short of breath with activity I feel good and sleep well.
