Here we go again. I finally gave up and went to the doctor. I have

Dr. sends me for a CT scan. It comes back with a round, strange shadow in
my
right (not symptomatic) lobe. Now I'm up for a bronchoscope on Friday or
so.
Could be nothing, or cancer. ***! I didn't hesitate, I normally would,

I've been so sick for so long that I can't imagine ignoring this test.
I'll let you know what shows up when I know. Don't we all just hate this
part? Personally, I've been through it so long that I'm not too
concerned.
Still........
All my love to each of you,

Dear Paul,
talk to me, brother. I saw the pix of the bronchoscope and the bottom
right lobe was swollen. Does that point to encapsulated pneumonia. If so,
I'm now on Augmentin. Is that sufficient to clear it? How long do you
suppose before a reduction of morning cough and fever (low grade)? I'm not
asking for a solid DX, just a wild guess. I never sue and I'll not chide you
regardless of any alternate reaction. In fact, I won't write about any such
thing. But if you're right, I'm gonna give you an e-handjob in front of the
whole NG.
(Paul, don't feel that last comment was a threat, unless that heightens the
anticipation, of course.)
