    John F Schroeder replied to the topic Dream Lunch Dates: History, Heroes and a Whole Lotta Queso in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 2 years ago

    This is an interesting question,   So many people, so little time for 5,000,000 lunches! LOL

    First would be my daughter, Ann, who died form CF in 2009.  Had so many lovely meals with her.  One more would be amazing!

    Then, my Mom, who died when I was 15, who never got to know me as an adult, and never met my wife and kids and grandkids.  She defi…[Read more]

    John F Schroeder replied to the topic Social workers and CF in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 2 years, 2 months ago

    Social workers are an ABSOLUTE necessity on the CF Care Team. Early on in our family’s experience in CF, Social Workers were looked on as unnecessary by doctors and clinicians. They’d be asked to “fix” things when a patient or parents got “emotional.” But as the clinicians got to see how helpful Social Workers were they welcomed them with open…[Read more]

    Hi Bailey

    I saw your response in an update that was sent to me! Understand completeley – Which Do I DO??? While the docs know a lot more about backs and how to help with back issues, there’s stll a lot to learn and it’s sooo frustrating to be in pain and relly not know what to do 🙁 Hope you heal soon!

    John F Schroeder replied to the topic Do You Get Medically Superstitious? in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 2 years, 4 months ago

    WOW that’s scary! Hope you find a solution soon! Backs are weird! I have had a “Bad back” due to an inury I had when I was 13 in 1956 or so. Fortunately Physical Therpy and some asprin and other NSAIDS etc over the years, have kept me doing ok.

    Scarystuff! I hope your dics find a solution for you Bailey.

      Thank you so very much! This really means a lot! I hate that it keeps “stopping” me because I know physical therapy and strength can help, but then I also know time to heal can help, you know? Sometimes I feel like: “Which do I do?” lol

    Hi Tim

    do you mind a few questions about your wife. When was she diagnosed, what CF issues she’s experienced, etc. Just curious! and if you’d rather not, no problem. And you can write me privately at [email protected], if you prefer.

    John F Schroeder replied to the topic New Year's Resolutions? in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 2 years, 5 months ago

    Not a fan. I used to make resolutions and never succeeded in keeping them ! LOL So now I just figure I got this far, so I’m just going to keep on going as long as I can!

    It’s good, I think, as we end one year and begin another to look forward a bit. Especially for CF Families, the past several years have been absolutely amazing in the…[Read more]

    LOL glad to give you a laugh, Jenny!!

    I have been saying things this year and my wife of 54 years – who should be used to me by now – turns and says “JOHN!!!!” At least she doesn’t try the soap trick!

    But it’s been that kind of a year! Oh wellllll….

    OMG If I tell you what I really want to say, my sainted mother will rise from the dead at midnight and wash my mouth out with SOAP! So I will just say:

    SCHRECKLICH

    I need some help 🙂 I got an email that had a reply to my above note about CF Camp memories from Bailey Vincent. It was a lovely note and I wanted to reply.

      Ah thank YOU! I am seeing your reply and I ran this by Jenny and our very formal answer is… “Sometimes our technology gets glitchy?” (lol) We are so sorry! We know that’s not a great answer, but sometimes we have issues with the reply component, and (honestly) it often seems to be with my account in particular. I’m working on fixing it, so thank…[Read more]

    John F Schroeder replied to the topic Resiliency and other qualities in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 2 years, 10 months ago

    Most o the people I know who have CF or have a loved one with CF are very resilient. My wife and I had 3 kids, 2 with CF. Our daughter,Ann, died 11 years ago at 40 years and 11 months. Our son, Tom, is now 45, and has had a much “easier” case of CF. She was sick a lot, hospitalized, on IV antibiotics etc., several times a year. he has been…[Read more]
