The Sickness: Update

At the follow-up doctors appointment the doctor had me do the two laps around the office again. The results showed that my lungs were functioning much better; however, my pulse was quite high given that i was simply walking (110 bpm).

The doctor was also still concerned about my fatigue; he ordered another blood panel to be sure i was not anemic (the results from the ER visit showed slight anemia). He also ordered an echocardiogram stress test and referred me to a cardiologist.

So the good news is that the blood test results were fine. It is also good news that the echo-stress test was perfectly normal as well.

The bad news is that all the tests were fine. :-/

The diagnosis has been amended to simply "nasty virus". Ideally we'd all love to know exactly what attacked my system, but things aren't always ideal.

The best news is that currently i am at about 98% of "normal" and feel pretty well.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers. I really appreciate it.
