Thx all. Long story short, there is PE and there is a mass. Because of time of night they kept me and will be waiting for morning pulmonologists to arrive. Hospital is hoping they agree it makes sense to do bronchoscopy to get a sample. Until then I am off food and water and on an heparin drip Your support means the world.

Plz go do something fun

Shel, I just had a facial. That's not nearly enough fun to neutralize the downside of your situation. But the first time I actually do have fun today I will do so in your honor!

Again, I love you! We all love you.

Sending some virtual plants for your room. I of the brown thumb, finally repotted some of the porch plants. An activity that is fun -after the fact). Current favorite is the repurposed lidless cookie jar. Let the sun shine in. Rest, sweetie, and think of what is beautiful (you), and infinite (you), and yes (you).
