Insult to Injury?

We went to the pulmonologist for the first time a week ago today; he had a cold. Didn't know just where in the course of it he was, but he clearly had a cold.

Thursday the bronchial and blood testing was done in the hospital. Seemed everyone we walked by that morning coughed or sniffed or sneezed.

Friday, for the bronchoscopy, the doctor was on the mend, but one could tell he was still dealing with the cold.

As soon as we returned home late Friday afternoon, Diana's left nostril started dripping. We thought the sore throat was from having a camera tube shoved down it, and that the coughing was related to said same...

*sighs* ...not the case. By Friday night she had a full blown cold.

And, that's how we spent the weekend: trying to separate cold symptoms from bronchoscopy symptoms...but, at least we were able to do that together as we watched the birds and every blooming thing. *smiles*

Followed our best cold remedies and by yesterday the cold had pretty much worked its way out. However Diana had a great deal of difficulty finding a comfortable position outside of sitting or standing very erect for most of the afternoon and evening because of chest pain. (It mostly hurt when/after she bent over, and you know what the proverbial doc says: then don't bend over.)

Results of the TB test appear to be negative (that one we can read ourselves). Results of the biopsy should be in this afternoon and we'll do our best to post as much as we can as quickly as we can.

We really appreciate everyone's love, support, well wishes, prayers and assistance. Thank you for being there for and with us.

And, we appreciate the humor. What we should have posted in response to 'tuna' was: We appreciate your benign sense of tumor *biggrins*
