I'm home, so it appears that I survived the procedure.

Alas, I still am having a problem with my breathing and I won't hear from the pulmonologist for a number of days. As I understand it, he has to wait for some lab results before he lets me know what he found.

The fact that I'm still having difficulty with my breathing is very troublesome, since I've never had such a serious problem before. This came on weeks ago, out of nowhere and I don't know what's causing it.

That's it for now. Just a matter of waiting to hear from the doctor.

BTW, I've never smoked, but my father was a chain smoker, so I was exposed to second hand smoke my entire childhood, from infancy until I was 18. If you are a smoker and have kids, what's happening to me is what you're setting your children up for. My breathing problems didn't show up until I was in my 40s.

Just saying…
