The Continuing Saga of the "Unlucky" and the Medically Interesting

Here's the latest in my continuing journey...

Saw Dr. Miradi, Infectious Disease Specialist Extraordinaire - this guy rocks -, last week.
He informed me that I am one of the "unlucky" ones who has contracted a strain of pneumonia they just haven't isolated. He said I could expect not to feel 100% for another month or two. Ouch! He added that he had "macho guys" in the same boat. I guess it makes things that much easier now knowing that I am "macho." So I had to have a doctor stick a probe into my lung for no apparent reason during my bronchoscopy- results were "unremarkable."

So I persist. Some days are good, some are tough. Still experiencing low-grade fevers and fatigue - and I cannot climb stairs without breathing heavily -, but I would have to say that all is well. Could be a lot worse. I will follow-up with Dr. Miradi in a few weeks. Meanwhile, per his request, I am tracking how I feel daily (body temp, etc.).

Next up: blood work Friday.
Dr. Zu next Tuesday followed by my monthly Sandostatin injection.

Thank you for the positive thoughts and wishes. Without you - and the love of my beautiful Christine -, I would not know what I would do.

All my best!
