Chest xray in the bowels of ku med center where they left me sitting in the hall. Next time I'll have my sister take me out to the clinic and I'll come back. The lung scan part of this hospital needs a good course on Emily Post. Which I told the customer relations lady.

Then I called the cleaning lady back to clean the floor beside my bed and that was much more entertaining than being abandoned in the hallway. The lady returned and vigorously swiped the floor with her swiffer style mop, all the while eneregetically insisting that "it won't come up." I replied that it seemed like every day there were new "spots that wouldn't come up." Anyway it was marvelously entertaining.

I'm still having about one fever every 24 hours. Haven't had to change the sheets for several nights...just the pillow cases. So we hope the bright yellow antibiotic that delivers a chill along with its help, is doing the job.

The Pulmonary guy (American one..cute but no match to the Brazilian one) said the lungs sounded better yesterday after the bronchoscopy. They definitely hurt less.

I'm still trying to find food with the highest caloric value that is least likely to end up in the bin. (sigh) I am not getting far from the bin, but I haven't used it for a couple of days! The Nutritionist, Melinda, (Darth Vader type in this drama) visited today but agreed that if I would add protein powder to two shakes a day.

I'm still having some trouble with spelling and stuff --I recommend you treat these like the interesting things I hear sometimes.
