No pneumonia breath sounds, normal CBC, normal energy level. Although Doctor S showed me what he thought was still a slight shadow of the pneumonia remaining on the x-ray, the radiologist’s report says "resolution of pneumonia on prior x-ray, with lungs now clear." Hoo ha! Anyway, two doctors now have told me that the x-ray results always trail the actual resolution of the pneumonia, so even if Dr. S is right and a little bit shows, the actual pneumonia is probably gone.
Dr S gave me the go-ahead to do whatever I want to do, including a marathon in two weeks, guided only by my sense of fatigue. I will still take it easy and will get as much sleep as I can from now until then, just to be sure. Maybe I’ll walk most of the marathon, who knows. They do allow up to eight hours!

ReplyDeleteHello Don,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ling Ran from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am supporting one of my friend who has gone through 6-month Chemo for his multiple myeloma. Unfortunately he was also diagnosed with Amyloidosis. Now he and his family are under pressure and stress. We would like to get in touch with you and get more knowledge about myeloma. Thanks,
