Yup, of course I'm up!

Hey, girlfriend..:-) :-)
Sorry I wandered off..had to shower for pulmonary appointment.
This is the one where they tell me if they've ruled out fibrosis, I think.
( hope)..
I think they're not going to find the answers in my lungs.
( unless there's some autoimmune issue)
I really believe it's cardio..
And ..my brand new cardiologist ( seen once..
Has moved.

Anyway.. just a little anxious.
On top of the constant anxiety about Jaimie.

No wonder my damned heart aches. :-) :-)

How are your hands this morning ?

Thanks, Lisa..
I'm truly not expecting bad news..
Just an explanation for why three different Dr.s told me I have COPD.
Thanks for the support.

Doing the Med vacation. Fear for .Jaimie..all the health crap..
I'm tired and overwhelmed.

Dude couldn't go with, Seekret.. to hot to stay in the car.
So..I got to enjoy his crazy happy Mom's back dance. :-) :-)

NOT FIBROSIS!!!!
Which he was looking for. And has a grim prognosis.
Even better..
I DO NO have actual COPD..
I only have emphasema.
( OK.. people don't usually say only emphasema..but.
That's the best of those three to have.

Because..COPD progresses..pretty much no matter what..
Emphasema..
While it won't improve..
Stops progressing after you've quit smoking long enough.

He wouldn't say how severe it is until I can do all the breathing tests.
( he let me put that off for a couoke of months..
Because of Jaimies situation.

..He did say I was lucky and needed to get back to a rheumetologist..
Because..well.as Seek knows..
That damend auttoimmune stuff will eventually target organs.

All in all a good appointment.
He even gave me a blood pressure Med..
Which I've been lacking, for not getting back to PCP.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AWESOME SUPPORT.
I love you guys..I really do
Luvnhugs

Oh..he's referring me to a cardiologist, too. :-) :-)

Ok, I decided to pick you up and take you in my very cool AC......but that won't work. Wished for you a good and final reality check for you so not having to guess what is happening. You have so much on your plate and you need answers!

As Toni said...one step forward. We are here........forever and a day.

Love and Hugs........

My response is a little late.........glad you have a dx!
