Short Bio

I am 64 years old. I am married with 4 children and 5 grandkids.  I work in a customer service related field.  I have been relatively healthy for most of my life.  I am diabetic and have high blood pressure.  I started having shortness of breath a year ago.  I was told that I had interstitial lung disease and just last week I was diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary lung disease.  I am waiting for insurance approval for Ofev. I start pulmonary rebab in December.  All of this is new to me and am just for as much good information and resources as possible.
