Post Procedure Thursday PM July 5th

Linda made it through the procedure at the hospital today..not too happy afterwards with the way her throat felt and the coughing..but it's over.....

To describe the procedure...as she put's it...think of a colonoscopy..but from the other end (she still has some humor)

The Pulmonologist thought he had gotten a sample of the mass....we shall see.

He thought it might be back from the lab as early as late tomorow afternoon (Friday) or then Monday afternoon. We plan on driving into Bend and meeting with him when the results are in.

This stage will provide the story ..ie. what it is....and some clues as to what our lives will be like from this point on. We are being positive and ready to address things for a cure.

Linda says hi..particularly to all those Toronto folks (we were supposed to be there this weekend). She thanks all for their thoughts and prayers.

Linda's blood pressure has been low...almost to the point where she is lathargic..the doctor is having her cut her meds in half.....so she can function. One good thing she says...when she suffers anxiety...it brings her blood pressure back to normal!

Anyway...hopefully more tomorrow.

Linda is currently on the couch ...sleeping to some great "new age" soothing music. Being a good husband, I'm going out and wash her car so it looks nice for her.
