Latest Medical News etc.

I apologize for not posting any sooner, but I was trying to gather all the information I could so my blog would make sense.
On the medical front I have been having severe breathing problems so I contacted my doctor at National Jewish Hospital and they asked me to come in for an evaluation. I had the usual lung function tests, blood work and chest x ray. The chest x ray showed the cause of my breathing problems. I have nodules in my right lung. According to my doctor this should not be a serious set back. My doctor wanted me to have a CT scan which I did have yesterday. I do not know the results yet, but will share them with you when I receive them. If all goes well I probably will have to go back on steroids for a while. I also went to see my family doctor today to gain any other information possible and he backed up what my pulmonary doctor at National Jewish said. They both said it is very unlikely the nodules would turn cancerous, not impossible, but unlikely. Needless to say that made me feel much better. When you have a doctor tell you have spots in your lung x ray it is not a pleasant feeling.
So again we wait for more information from my doctor.

I would like to send a special greeting to my mother-in-law, Marjorie, who is at home in Texas recovering from back surgery. I know this is a very difficult time for her and Kenneth, but I know everyone is praying for a successful recovery for Marjorie. So from your son-in-law in Colorado I pray for your health to continue to move forward and I love you very much!! You are the best mother-in-law a guy could have!!

I will keep all of you informed on my health and look forward to hearing from you.

Until next time......................Danny
