Yur not alone.. I’m borderline a list or two myself.. I’ve had an easier ride to the precipice than many.. Some who speak so crassly can trust their luck and genes they never do.. and let it go at that, and then some.. wellll.
They say no one can really appreciate life and its preCiousness until you come close to losing it or know the odds are steep and could come at any time.
I wish everyone the best and more that has ipf. My oldest brother was diagnosed two years ago this month with it, and we lost him a short two weeks later. The experience brought home to my family just how precious life is, and going through the experience, learning about ipf and other illnesses, several in our family decided to become donors.
