I feel my prayers and the prayers of my friends  have been answered.All praise to Jehovah God,our life giver and sustainer.I will start lung rehab on Tuesday.hopefully i will be able to excercise soon and get some of this weight off.I feel like a stuffed pig,i think the prednisone makes you feel that way . Im still sleepy a lot ,probly because my body is healing.My spirits are sky high.I have come a long way.To be honest, i was starting to wish i would die in my sleep and wait for the ressurection.My oldest son calls me a tough old girl,i guess i am. I hope  all my friends are doing well also,and you all are in my prayers. I also pray my fibrsis stays the same,Ido still have some granulomas in my lungs but at least my body is not making more. …
