So not looking forward to this.

gridloreBack from my latest appointment with my pulmonologist. Overall, she's very happy with my progress. We've set a benchmark for getting me off the oxygen. When I can go a full day at fairly normal activity levels without feeling overly fatigued or having my oxygen drop below 90%, we'll ditch it.
But it turns out I may have a new issue. For a couple of weeks I'd been experiencing pain while swallowing and when I tried to do breathing exercises. The PET scan showed activity in both my lungs and in my esophagus. Dr. Butcher thinks I may have had a problem with acid reflux. Now taking Omerprazole. I'm also going to be scheduled for a charming procedure where a tube is stuck down my throat (stop snickering) to examine the good ol'food tube to see if there's more going on than a simple if unprecedented (in me, anyway) case of acid reflux.
