Our Interests

I guess that the best - and fastest - way to really get to know us is by discovering what we like. So here goes. . . Rosalie loves to correspond with family and friends. She has some TV shows, like The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, and she is an avid reader with mysteries being her favorites, along with her Bible.  Earl is a computer nut, with playing bridge with people from all over the world taking much of his time. Before his strokes he did a lot of carving and still has many of his carvings on display. Both Rosalie and Earl enjoy their connections with their churches. Rosalie is a member of the Brethren Church and Earl, the Friends, where he spent 39 years as pastor and in various posts in their Central Offices in Richmond,IN.
 

I can tell you there is something left after asthma, and I have suffered with it for 25 years. I've gone through all the tests several times and they told me I was allergic to everything. I've even spent 21 days at the best asthma clinic in the country - Jewish National in Denver. I've used about every inhaler made and as many as four of them daily. I've taken as much as 75 mgs of prednisone a day. In June of 1999 I had a breathing test and went to my pulmonologist who had treated me for many years and he said I no longer had asthma. He then took me off all of my inhalers (I had used about all of them). He took me off of Prednisone and I had used as much as seventy-five mgs a day. Then he told me the bad news. I now had pulmonary fibrosis, which is terminal. By January 2000 I was on oxygen part of the time. At that time I bought a Chi. I began using it and in June of 2000 I took another breathing test and lo and behold it was almost up to the test of the year before. I now use the Chi 20 to 25 minutes a day and my breathing continues to improve. If you are interested in finding out more email me.
