Hi Y'all - my Pulmo visit results

[Guest guest]

Hi Y'all, I had a very busy day and just now got around to posting....

Pulmo visit went well. My lung function has decreased about 5% which

is not too bad, so everything is basically status quo.

He wants a CT scan in October and of course the usual other tests. He

had to be reminded that I don't want any meds and said he realized

that he was just there to monitor me... He was really trying to get

me to take either Pred or Imuran and I declined

I've been doing better on my O2 use but he wasn't thrilled when I

showed up in his office without it as I quite casually sauntered away

from my truck forgetting that I can't breathe very well. Oh gosh,

h was quite upset with me too! She had been on her phone and

wasn't paying attention when I left the truck. Figures that the one

day I forget to wear the hose is the day that I have to see the Pulmo!

LOL!

I think it was a good visit. He didn't really remember me from last

October because that was the first time I had seen him, but I think

he'll remember me from now on....

My weight was the same, my BP was great....I'm still on 2.5 lpm of O2.

I may have posted before that it was 2, but it's been 2.5 since

October. He saw no need to increase it since the decline in lung

function was minimal.

We also stopped for lunch, went to a pet store (aaaahhhhhh, I wanted

ALL of the puppies!!!) and we also went to Walgreen's and then to a

Bridal Shop with a friend of hs who is getting married in October

and h is going to be her Maid of Honor.

Home, dinner, Idol, etc....and I'm pooped. I've been coughing ever

since the PFT's but that is subsiding...

To bed now...will catch up with the posts later.

Hugs y'all!
