Well, best you found this out sooner rather than later - or not at all! Maybe your breathing problems were related somewhat.

There's not doubt I have pulmonary fibrosis, but both my cardiolost and pulmonologist are fairly confident that the RCA blockage has played a role in reducing my blood O2 levels.

We've had no where near the excitement that dean has had. Yesterday afternoon we ignored a "no trespassing" sign and went to the waterworks in a city nearby. We were hoping for some pretty scenery and a couple old building pics. We saw a state trooper (they patrol those areas frequently) before we went in and he gave us a "go ahead, but I didn't tell you to."

Nothing in that spot as the buildings and area were under renovations, so we headed to the ruins of an old ice house also on the same water supply. (Another "NO Trespassing" sign ignored. I think that's OK if you are only hoping to take pics. The ruins were overgrown so we may sneak there again in the fall. Pretty neat history here, but this was the only photo somewhat worth sharing.


Dinner out last night. Crazy man in my driveway detailing my Jeep today, so I'm going out to lunch with Mom. She is not getting out much at all, these days.

^You don't know what you're missing. My surgery was moved up to tomorrow morning to 8:30. The nurse just gave me all my drugs inserted a fresh IV, then told me to expect to get EVERYTHING shaved from the neck down in time morning before surgery.
Six to nine weeks for recovery is about the average, so I'm going to get to be an unemployed bum until January. Kind of puts a damper on getting the house sold, though.

Dean, you've had a lot happen over the weekend with the new findings. Wishing you all the best this AM.

dean

Thanks much. Up and about at 5:00. Getting me ready to be shaved from neck to toes. And. I think the nurse has palsy.

I might be alert enough to check back in around 4:00 PM, I hope. Or still alive at the very least.

Not happy that you're having to go through all of this. Am glad that your breathing, etc. will be better. I'll be thinking of you, especially since +1 is seeing the cardiologist this morning for a checkup.

in some body map areas, shaving with palsy could be pretty tricky! Wishing you the very best, and maybe a happy ending!
Thanks for keeping us updated! We are pulling for you.

Wishing you the best, Dean.

Ok this might hurt a little bit.

Good luck buddy, talk to you in a few days.
