Update 8/4/16

Here's the latest, folks. I saw 2 docs yesterday. The last one was the worst, but really good. It was a follow up with the cardiologist, whom i didn't think needed to be in the mix and both his Fellow and he agreed with. What  a=made it the worst is i had to wait over an hour to see him and including the ekg it made my day very long.

Now the actual good news. The pulmonologist formally released me from using oxygen and they contacted the gas company who will be here Tuesday to take all the oxygen crap away. I am actually grateful to have had access to it because I needed it, but not at all sad it's going.

The plan going forward is to stop the antibiotic next Friday, followed by getting a ct scan 2 weeks after that, followed up by an appointment with her to see what's next. It's hoped by her and I both, that no more meds will be required and a return to full health is imminent.

There will no doubt be some damage to my lung which, while not deadly, may present some issues which will need to be dealt with, but nothing like what I have ben going through for the last year.

More when there is more.
