okay, went to cardioligist to due a stress test to make sure Im okay to do the biopsy on my lungs next thursday.

I just laughed at him when he told me, he probabley thought I was crazy(which I am) but I just said nothing is gonna surprise me anymore doc...I dident want to have this done on tuesday because it will be 2 yrs tuesday that my mom passed away. well I called my Brother in arkansas to see what he thought about all this and get a good cry out. and hes a R.N. he says he thinks the reason they cant get rid of the pneumonia is from the backup from the blocked artery.I sure hope hes right. when it rains .it pours! I feel like a car, breaking down one thing after another.maybe I need a major overhaul, lol. my husband thinks its a conspiracy. and they all want money. hes in denial still from the R.A going on 2 years ago, hes somethig I tell ya.I am glad they found the blockage, that could have been a heart attack or a stroke for sure! well everybody, thanks for letting me get all this stuff off my chest, please keep me in your prayers, as I will keep you all in mine. Hugs Tina
