Yay!!

So it's been a month since they biopsied and collapsed my right lung. That's all healed and I'm returning to dance tonight. I didn't quite feel up to dancing since I was dealing with the pain in my lung. It wasn't constant, just when I took a deep breath. Ya know, the thing you do when you're dancing and exercising :)

I started working last week. Most of Sunday I spent with my head in the toilet because of an antibiotic I was taking for infiltrates they saw on my xray when I saw Dr. Trapnell. They stopped the antibiotic and I felt much better. Thought I should give work a try since I was scheduled and knew I wasn't contagious. So Monday I went in and tried to work 11-2. I spent most of my shift sitting in the back office because I kept getting light headed and whiting out... not black out, white. I think it was because I was dehydrated from being sick Sunday. I worked again on Tuesday and only had to take one 5 minute break because I felt a little weak. I worked again on Friday and that went much better.

Thursday I was back up in Cleveland for the repeat/9 month bronch. Cleveland does bronchs with biopsies at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year. Then I'm done unless a problem comes up. It was the never ending day... 7:30 started it all with bloodwork, like always, and my bronch was at 3:30. We finally got in the car around 5:30 and didn't get home until 10pm. Dr. Budev did my bronch this time and said that everything looked wonderful but wouldn't be surprised if I had a slight amount of rejection because of my anti-rejection med levels being pretty low. Well, here's the best part. I talked to Cleveland today and everything about the bronch came back negative. So I have to reduce my prednisone and I'm off all of my antibiotics as of tomorrow! yay!

So off to work I go tomorrow for 3 days and then tap on friday :) Life's good again :)
