Health Update
I had my other x-rays done; the pneumonia is all cleared out of my lungs now. I still have a bit of a cough, but that's from congestion and irritation now. They found that my lymph nodes are a bit enlarged, so I have to wait for the hospital to call me to set up an appointment for a cat scan. The doctor said it's probably just due to the pneumonia running its course, and it will disappear on its own, but they have to double check in case it's something more serious. In all likely hood it's not though.

Thanks FL. :D And thanks for reminding me that I should have capitalized CAT. I don't think they'll really find cats in my lungs.... ;P

Can I ask what the connection is between your lymph nodes and a CAT scan?

I'm not sure. I guess they can see if my lymph nodes being enlarged (if they still even are) is from the pneumonia passing through, or if it's lymphoma. It's more than likely not lymphoma, but they just want to verify and make sure.

Thank you. I think it's just leftover from the pneumonia is all. I just wish they would call already to make the appointment. If they don't call today I'll have to contact the clinic and see what's going on.

So glad you're feeling better. Sorry I haven't checked in lately, but it's been hectic, as you know. Cameron is home and doing well now.
Keep up the good recovery!
Take care,
Amy
