Went in for a CT scan. Not the best of answers. Emphysema with some Bronchiolectasis (whatever that is). Interstitial Lung disease of uncertain etiology (I had to look that one up). It means they don't know what the cause of the honeycombing in the lungs. Guess I'll wait for the Pulomonolgist that I see on Thursday this week. Maybe she will have a better explanation of the pictures. I have a cd with all the pictures on it. All I can see are white spots hear and there in the lungs. Oh well, as long as I can still breathe it can't be too bad. At least I'm over the Bronchitis that started early in January and went all month long. But I did hear myself wheezing last evening so I got out the inhalers.
Thursday night is the monthly Pot Luck-birthday celebration and the Birthday Girl asked for Chinese so I went down to my favorite Cash n carry and got a large bag of pot stickers and the makings for the dipping sauce. Got a really good sized bottle of Hoisin sauce and medium quart of soy sauce. I'll probably make the sauce today and let the flavors blend together better.
Hear's some scrapbook pages that I made for the "Tiny Human" that comes to stay with me for 5 nights a week. My grand daughter works the graveyard shift at one of our hotels. It's the shift that pays more and being a single Mom she needs all the hours @ better pay that she can get. She got her daughter (our Tiny Human) an adorable hairy Chihuahua puppy. This little girl is adorable with her eyebrows that stick up and the beard that is starting. Charlie says she's homely so I'll let you decide. Personally I adore her but I love all puppies.
These are the permanent residents in our house. Chazz and Chazz Junior.
This little lady is named "Serenity" from some movie that the kids have seen. Doesn't make any sense to me but I don't go to movies much anymore.
It was Ann's birthday and the annual January Luau. Pictured is Ann with her grand daughter Amyah.
My youngest brother George with his dog "Bing". Lives in St Bonifacius, Minnesota. Lots of snow.
A picture of me on our Patio when we lived on Midway Island. The Northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain.
My oldest brother Harry (Bud), may he rest in peace.
My two oldest grandchildren. David & Bridgit (now 30 & 31).
Newly discovered picture of my father Harry Shirley during World War II. He was stationed in Germany in time for the liberation of Dok Chau prison camp. Dad got to ride across Germany in a tank as the cannoneer (got to shoot the big guns). Thank you for your service Dad. You'd be proud of Bud & me. We went Navy!
Pretty long post. Now I'm going to check out my newest acquisition from my favorite designers. One is Happy Moments in Box by Kyra of Russian Dutch Heart Designs. and another one is Dog Lover by Raspberry Roads Designs. And I also have been picking up a new kit from Miriams Scraps and some thing from Arlene at Baby Bear Designs. These 4 lovely ladies have filled up my files so now I can create Pages. See you all later.
Problem with a lot of doctors is that they toss all kind of uncomprehensible words, and we have to look them up somewhere to know what they mean, and then hope we will understand it LOL.
ReplyDeleteGlad at the least you are over your bronchitis, now just we will have to wait about the other verdict of the scan. But as you say, as long as we still can breath, we can survive a lot.
Love the layouts you've made with the old and new photos.
I really should try to make a couple of layouts too again, last year I;ve made several for Edna, but that has gone on a sidetrack the last months.
I am alrready glad I am somewhat back into designing again.
Have a wonderful week.
Hug
Kyra

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and the nice comments...Of course you may use any layouts I post, they are all free. I have a couple I finally got to make that I will be posting on Miriam's blog shortly. I must go, but will visit again soon. Off to work this morning. Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Mat
