The oddest part is I get up this morning feeling like death. Figured I had to ride. But then I rode, and actually felt pretty good on the bike. Lungs felt a little constricted climbing Mt. Doom, but not that bad. I was shocked when the CT scan came up with the blood clots, but I guess that's why they do them. Glad my g.i. guy (Dr. Walker, actually kind of reminds me a bit of House, great sense of humor, irreverent kind of guy) was smart enough to figure this out from the symptoms. I like my pulmonary Dr. too. They are getting it together up here with health care, the offices where the specialists and large local Urgent Care are seem very impressive, well run, modern gear, etc. When that new regional med center opens August 5th it will be a huge boon to this area, it's long overdue.
This little hospital I opted for is great, they're closing it when the new larger regional hospital opens, but until then it's low key, and under used, so for now I have a large private room with a view. It's not so bad. You gotta make the best of it.
