Idopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Webinar and an Empty House


The house is empty again. After I left for orchestra rehearsal last night, William and Kimberly began their long ride back to Seattle. The house felt cold and empty when I woke up this morning.

I am exhausted not just from their visit but from the continuous stream of energy zapping things without much downtime. A real killer for me. Today, I am going to rehab, swing by the store for the makings of caramel corn (Winnie is coming for lunch on Friday) then the plan is to sit in the back yard. Quietly. Maybe a nap.

Tomorrow, we are going to the cocktail party for the beginning of my 40th high school reunion. Saturday will find me working in the gardens then nothing, sweet nothing, on Sunday.

I received the below in an e-mail from the good people at CPF. This might be very helpful especially for readers of this blog who are in countries around the world where the latest information regarding Pulmonary Fibrosis is so limited. Follow the directions and you can join this Webinar.

Thanks for your comments, Daniel. I am so lucky to be connected with one of the top university hospitals in the US who is leading the research on PF. Everything I learn, I try to pass along. This information is just not out in the general pubic, yet. So happy it is helpful!

We all know that pulmonary fibrosis has no treatment. Reading this post helps us to add more knowledge about this illness and also on how to avoid this.
