Bad news

[bruceolee]

Well, i got a chest X-ray today and had the results 5 minutes after i arrived home (gotta love my local hospital for quick results) and the X-ray revealed nothing. No changes to my lungs or at least nothing remarkable that would stop my angiogram monday. So that is my next hurdle. I'm still holding off on the cigars until after the angiogram just to be safe and make sure my blood oxygen levels stay healthy. Thank you all SO much for your kind prayers and support. It means more to me that you'll every know. God bless you all!

Jason that is good news Is there a chance you have Pericardial effusion (fluid buildup) I know that causes breathing problems.

I always have some fluid in my left lung but nothing that should be causing low oxygen right now. So my low oxygen is still a bit of a mystery but i'm using a incentive-spirometer to help with that. I had an old one from a previous hospitalization. The x-ray didn't show any abnormal fluid build up at this point. God bless you!
