I think the pnuemonia is getting better with the antibiotics, feeling a bit better this morning.
Talked with another lung transplant doc today as well. All departments are taking good care of me....

Thanks so much everyone for your prayers and words of encouragement.
Looks like I will be in here for the long haul. That could be another month or til Spring, who knows for sure. At least I am...

This is sort of Wegs related but not due to disease activity at the moment. Wegs did major damage to the lungs and in turn I got M. Abscessus, stenosis and bronchiectasis. So with all 4 of these it...
They say not to plan to get out soon but one never knows for sure.
Tube #4 is out now. Such a relief to have it out. They will keep the suction on the back tube at -60 for the weekend then I...
Lung is up a bit more today. They clamped tube number 4 and will probably take it out tomorrow. I really hope the lung stays up. I just wish my breathing got a bit better and had more energy. The...
I have the Nazi Nurse again tonight. Thankfully he is off shift soon. He was a bit rude to Alysia insisting that she leave right away as it was after visiting hours. I could see she was crying...
Just gotta stick with what works so far. Not much can be done for pneumothorax. The surgeons want to avoid surgery at all cost.
Lung is still not up. This may be as good as it gets. They will just leave things the way they are and reassess on Monday. I could be in here a few more weeks. This is probably my worst...
Just had major pain. Used 15 doses of Fentanyl in about 40 minutes or less. Getting some Toradol now as well. Good news is the lung is up again and highest it has been since the pneumo thorax. I...
CXR from this morning shows lung has collapsed again. Increasing suction back to -60 again. I so want to be home and over all this. There is also fluid at the bottom they are worried about too.
That's okay lag. I enjoy educating others.
I just noticed I am not getting notifications either......hmm. Mr. Kahuna?
I will be in here a few more days for sure. Rough day today educating nurses and therapists. Some people just should not work with the public.
Suction back on again.....lung went down a bit. Feeling really SOB right now. Waiting for combivent. Hope that helps.
Had a CXR this morning and then tube was clamped right away, then another CXR about 4 hours later. Both show the lung is almost to the top. Doc says if it stay there til tomorrow with the tube...
I get free waxings in the hospital when they change my dressings.
I know how you feel Lisa. It is not easy for sure. Ask your dad flat out what the income is and expenses and cash on hand and other monies and investments are and do a budget. Then ask your...
Alysia likes zipping through the mountains at 85 to 95mph. She is good on the highway but nervous in the city.
Ya, breathing test was much worse. I couldn't even do most of the tests. The lady doing the testing decided not to continue because she could see I was too distressed. And the CXR was worse from...
She says the roads are much better here and they drive on the same side of the road in Israel.
Alysia and I are now in Banff.
Saw lung doc yesterday. Chest x-ray was worse from last visit in April. WCC was 13. 5 and CRP was 36. Based on my increased SOB and general malaise and fatigue...
I will try to get some pics for sure.
Made it Calgary just fine. Alysia did all the driving. She is very tired now and just got up from a nap and now going to have a shower then we will go out to eat. I will finish nebulizing as well....
What year is your MGA? I went to school with a guy that has a MGA and TR-6. I liked driving them. Very fun cars.
