I have no excuse for lack of participation of late, health kind of curtails some activity on the I-Net and PC work, it has to with sitting up for long periods of time. The Bronchiectasis that has developed since January is the biggest problem, the best I can do is to prevent flare ups.
I'll be very in and out this week, kind of like once a day here at TOL, in the morning more than likely.
There are somethings that I/we need to take of and we'll be with our daughter Patricia, as she helps work our way through the maze of the choice is yours type stuff, like driving and the possible TIA'S, I may have had some TIA's mini strokes; dealing with some lungs issues, and future treatment and possibly removing the lower left lung or the whole left lung, no it's not a cancerous issue, the left lung capacity is worse the the right and the left lung function is like it's just there taking up room, the Pulmo Dr thinks that if there would be a partial or complete removal of the left lung, my quality of life may improve by maybe 50% more active, and less lung exacerbations. This stuff should be settled by Friday.
Thanks for your prayers in advance.

This past Monday and today.
Well here's the deal...
There'll be be no partial or complete lung removal. The Pulmo Dr belives there is nothing to gain from such a procedure.
The left lung is at 15% capacity, with a every so often lung infection that goes with Bronchiectasis, those episodes are cleared by a sulfur antibiotics. The right lung is 75% capacity and is working fairly well except for the emphysema (both lungs) damage. Pulse-Ox on room air is 93-94% and not too bad, I'm still on night o2 because of chronic Co2 retention, Co2 retention can have an overnight terminal effective.
Overall it's okay, some days breathing is better than others, and 3-4 a day nebulizings helps to take care of that as well as Advair twice a day.
Well there I am, none the worse for wear, living one day at a time.
Thank you all for your kindness, encouragement and prayerful support.

Please pray for my mother, who was diagnosed with cancer two months ago. She has begun chemotherapy but the treatments are hitting her very hard physically, mentally, and emotionally. Please also include the family members who are by her side, who tirelessly care for her and endure her anger and wish for death.
