It's been a busy day. Gary had an appt at the heart failure clinic and they are all in agreement, that his shortness of breath and activity intolerance last week was NOT due to his heart failure - which is good - but what the HECK caused it??? They think it is his lungs - but what caused his lungs to act up so violently???? We see the pulmonary doc tomorrow - but I know we aren't going to get any answers........ It probably was related to the fever he had - maybe a virus - I sure hope he doesn't get any more of those viruses. At least he is feeling better and his oxygen levels are normal (for him) when he is at rest (sitting in his lazy boy chair) so that is good. His oxygen is still dropping too low when he gets up and walks around, but I think it is getting better.
I had a cyst on my back removed this afternoon. I've had this darned thing since I was a teenager. It was always there, but didn't cause any problems. Well about a month ago, it swelled up almost like a golf ball
. I went to the dermatologist and had to get cortisone injections and antibiotics to calm it down so they could remove it. The procedure (in the office) to remove it was today and it turned out to be a double cyst, so it took longer and they wrestled with it more than they thought they would have to. There is a small chance it will come back, since it was double - but hopefully not! I'm going to have a sore back for a few days.
