There is a reason I have been not posting as much recently as I had been posting previously. A lot of you know that I have been struggling with a rare form of pneumonia- Bronchilitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis for over a year now . I have had serious side effects to the medications that are keeping me going such as insulin and oral medications dependent diabetes with all the diabetic symptoms, etc. . Well to make a long story short as my Prednisone has been reduced the BOOP has returned with a vengence and I am now required to use O2 whenever I must exert myself or walk more than 500'. The dogs quickly realized that when I don the O2 pack we are going walking . I am still "allowed" to tractor and ride the rider, but I am afraid to stir up the unknown antigen that is causing the BOOP. A lot of blood samples are going around the USA right now to find what is going on with me. I appreciate the support I have been receiving at NTT and just want to let everyone know what is currently going on. Jay
