Well gwapo is gonna have a little rant....

I cheerfully went to have an X-Ray to try n pinpoint why my chest feels its burning up...instead of getting an answer I was informed I now have Pulmonary Fibrosis.....Hyperaerated lungs...Flattened Hemidiaphragms...Costophrenic Sulci ...Atherosclerotic Aorta....n the BIG WHAMMY....Tuberculosis..HAHAHA

Its not contagious at this early stage so kids n wifey are safe..In 2 weeks I will go on these magic pills for 2 months...then a battery of tests followed by 4 months further treatment till its cured.....so im frustrated no end now...

BUT SO ANGRY....I cannot have my daily bottle of beer for 6 months...gonna have a great time this weekend for sure...lol

Oh Peter I can understand why you are frustrated and angry. That's a lot to process at one time. Keep on ranting Peter if you feel better, we're here for you. Have a great weekend and try to focus on some positive things. I know how difficult it must be to get all that at one time, but good you went to the Dr. and found out early.
Hugs,

Bummer, seems like we get one thing in control and something else goes haywire. Enjoy you brew this weekend.

Very sorry to hear of all the stuff that is getting in your way of good things right now! I will pray for you, Peter. I too love my can of beer. That is just an added blow to have that little pleasure taken away for now. Well, party hardy (as if any of us really do that anymore!) but have one on me this week-end! God bless you, strengthen you, uplift and heal you, my friend! Debbie.

Goodness my friend, !!
It sounds like they had a lot of diseases left over and said "well, Peter is coming in today, we will dump it on him"....
Most of those I can not even pronounce!! You have a right to rant, especially since you can't have that beer!!!!

Get better soon my friend. Prayers going up for you

Peter, I would be ranting too! ! I know it's good that they have discovered it and hoping the magic pills work great but what a pain to get all of that news at one time.

I like wine but I'll drink one to your health and with prayers behind it!

Hugs, Cindy

Well Peter you have just made me rethink my Prostate Biopsy on the 20th. *lol*

I sure hope things work out for you. That is definitely some terrible news to have to deal with. I think a case of beer is in order without a doubt.

Hey...thanks guys for the kind words...the pred n anti's are pulling me out of this flare-up n enjoyed a nice nite watching 2 old Fri 13th videos n a beer..........

Anyway yesterday we got an email from embassy after 6 months of waiting accusing my wife of submitting fraudulent docs re her divorce..n 28 days to supply a signed explanation or her visa will be denied....how can original court transcripts be fraud I have no idea, esp when we don't even know what is supposed to be inconsistent so we can supply proof....

Another 28 days stalling time again....I thought doctors were a pain until I dealt with the idiots from the embassy...lol

Cheers n hope all of you are ok..Peter
