Will, David and I returned home from my pulmonologist’s office with disappointing information. Unfortunately, after steeling my nerves to absorb a definitive diagnosis, course of treatment and prognosis, we received no results, yesterday. In this instance, no news is not good news.
Generally, five tissue samples are collected during a bronchoscopy. My pulmonologist took ten, but upon examination of each sample, there was too much blood to determine anything definitive concerning categorizing these tissue samples, so now, I’m in the process of being scheduled for a radiology CT biopsy with contrast, ASAP.
On an up note, the wheezing, which worsened post bronchoscopy, is much less, today, and thankfully, a combination of meds continue to hold headache and chest pain at bay.
As to up note #2, though the element of suspense grows taut, I’ve been given no reason, as of yet, for hope to submit to fear, so my composure continues to feel naturally secure ...
PS
I'm lifting this info from The Almanac–
On October 29th, 1886: France made a gift of
The Statue of Liberty to The United States, which
Was dedicated in New York Harbor by
President Grover Cleveland
On October 29th, 1922: Benito Mussolini took
Control over the government, and Fascism reigned over Italy
On October 29th, 1940: Italy invaded Greece
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they don't want to hear."
—George Orwell
Vigilance concerning who has earned your vote and mine is vital for this reason: As long as human nature has two sides, the concept of leadership maintaining a well balanced sense of liberty for all will forever be in jeopardy of being denied to you and me as was proved true when Pearl Harbor was bombed out of the blue while peace talks between world leaders ensued suggesting that the power mongers that arise within every next generation care not a fig for your welfare or mine, and thus is vigilance concerning who has earned your vote and mine always vital to those of us who value family, friendship, and a mutually respectful, peaceful existence for one and all, throughout this wide, wide world, which offers up more than enough to nourish the hungry if leadership agrees to keep egocentricity's greed in check—unfortunately, rather than attending to the needs of the highly diverse people who make up our nation, the King of Greed is most likely tweeting away about some personal displeasure in The Oval Office, right now.
Up note—we are each empowered to vote, and every vote counts 🌈
