have to go to the funeral home tonight.....a friend who was the chapter director for our Harley owners group passed away last week and then his wife had a heart attack the day after he passed, I feel so bad for the family. Tom will be riding in the motorcycle escort for the funeral procession, I have to be in London for the respirologist and all my tests so I won't be able to make the funeral. They are expecting about 15 to 20 bikes for the procession.
I am hoping that my pft has improved and I can start tapering off the prednisone, I know it helps but I really hate it, i have put on so much weight even though I am trying to lose it. I did my body test on the Wii yesterday and you can see a steady weight increase......it is so unfair, it makes it harder to breathe because all the weight seems to end up on my stomach and it crowds my lungs. Now my cholesterol is up too. My doctor is sending me to the dietitian so I am hoping that it will help jump start the weight loss, even though I know how to do this, I lost 65lbs 6 years ago so I don't know why this is so hard this time except that I can't exercise like I did before. I am even trying to eat vegetarian to help things along....... Hubby asks every night are we eating meat tonight.....lol I tell him he has to figure it out on his own, most of the time he can't so I guess I'm doing okay.

Just take things a day at a time. Looking at the long haul makes it feel too difficult for me. I have been messing around with 20 pounds for a long time now. But spring is here and I am walking every day. Just focus on the positives that you are doing. That really helps me to stay on track better....But no one is perfect. Just get back on track when you are \"naughty\",lol! We can do this, right? ((HUGS))
so sorry to hear about your lost an i wish you nothing but the best with your upcoming treatments.
