| Short Bio |
It’s been nearly three years since my IPF diagnosis. I’ve been fairly stable, but can gradually feel the increased shortness of breath, and need for O2 more often. I’ve tried to focus on positive things. I think it’s important to arrange and close out important things related to personal affairs and communicating with loved ones. I pra and ask God to take away the fear of dying. So, rather than focusing on that I focus on living.
