Patient

Short Bio

I still feel like I’m new here.  Retired pastor, building official, school bus driver, construction estimator, remodeler, and bacon smoker.  One man-made hip, many fused vertebrae, kidneys are a long story.  Learned about IPF after having a two year cough that was always coming back.  Did blood tests, PFT, HRCT.  Also using CPAP (again), for which they made me shave my 37-year-old beard.  Still suffering separation anxiety.
