Many thanks for the support, guys (not gender specific, just in case)

Up all night and now I need to shower and get ready.

I've been thinking of excuses not to go, but I know that I'd better not flake out.

I'd better make it through this because I still haven't cleaned up my man cave, which now looks somewhat like a semi-mild version of the "Hoarders." I'd be too embarrassed to have anyone see my mess before I had a chance to clean it up.

Wishing you many years of alcoholic beverages, and women of loose morals for money... (Booze.. hookers... you know the drill.)

And a hearty: Get Well Soon!

Best wishes!

Good luck with your procedure. I have a hunch that everything will go swimmingly.

...we get good news, soon.

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…

Good to see- your post, Gene!

I am sorry to hear that you don't have any additional good news, at least as yet.
