Posted: December 4, 2007 10:57 PM Post subject: Another Cat Scan |
|
|
Hey, I got some good news for a change I went to see my pulmonary doctor today for a six month checkup and cat scan. I got a Z pack for my sinus infection and other than that a job well done speech. It appears I had a nodule on my upper right lobe that he just told me about the last couple of visits...He has been watching it to see if there were any changes...the sweetie never said a word until he thought I was out of the woods in the first place. There were no significant changes in the nodule and he said that was usually not the case. They recommend another scan in 6 mo to a year.
My oxygen level was 99 % and he said my lungs sounded great even through all the snot!!!! I got a hug and he told me that this was about as good as it gets for someone who smoked like I did. My parents had bad lungs and bad hearts so he watches me carefully. I almost asked him if he was as smart as Dr. Oz but really did not feel like the run I would have had to make down the hall to the elevator.

It's good to hear you're a-ok with the health....and lungs and oxygen are great!!! And with all the lung capacity you probably would have sprinted down the hall on a quick getaway just fine!

What a great report and a great doctor. Does he wear the blue scrubs like Dr. Oz does?
Now you can celebrate your health. Just think where we'd be if we were still smoking. YIKES!!!!! _________________

Kevin, who is Dr. Oz???? He is that good looking doctor on Oprah who is sweeping the nation with his open and honest approach to medicine...he puts things in a way a lay person can understand how the body works...he has several books out also...
Jo, no he does not wear the scrubs but dresses quite sharp to be seeing patients....he had on kakis, a dark blue sweater shirt and a sports coat...he is a cutiepie also. I loved him as a doctor from the first time I met him...

That is GREAT news Kay! Stay healthy - get lots of rest and make sure you take every last one of those antibiotics - no stopping when you feel better. Sinus infections can rebound with a vengence! And I'm sure you want to be "all better" before Christmas! _________________

Kay,
I'll have to start watching Oprah just to see Dr. Oz. Glad to hear your report was good. _________________
