Had a meeting with a very respected pulmonologist today.I have had some breathing issues at night and have been sleeping in my recliner for appox six weeks now.VA has a hospital bed due at my house tomorrow at noon.Had the breathing test today and my FVC in june was 87%,today 53%.He will be getting me the Bipap,cough assist and nebulizer devices,plus I have a yeast infection on my tongue.He told my I should be thinking about venting.Joel,everybodys friend,strongly suggested it,to me it was common sense,but at 68 I am not so sure.Has anyone here,or anybody know someone at my age that has had it?-------I love ALS--------Ken
