Pulmonology

The news at my last pulmonary appointment was not good.  My latest diagnosis (in addition to diagnoses of Interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary fibrosis) is severe pulmonary hypertension.  I was told that this is irreversible, incurable, only gets worse, results in death - not what I wanted to hear (and the last time you will see a list form me, I hope).  I've never agreed to having any of that.  Some may say I'm in denial.  I would say, I simply don't want to take ownership of any illness.

I can respect my doctors' opinions, their knowledge and education, and still not internalize their diagnosis or time limitations they may put on my life.  As I told one doctor... "The date and time of my death are not your call.  I'll live as long as God wants me to.  It's his call.

ANYWAY... Today was a day of adjustment for me, but I've become an excellent adjuster.
