[Magdalen] What a Revltin Development

[Jim Guthrie]

As Chester A Riley would say.

I went to the local hospital yesterday for a CT Scan for my doctor at MSKinNY,
with the idea they'd mail the Cd and that would be that.

But the Radiologist here looked at it and noted multiple Pulmonary  Embolisms in
my lungs. He called my doctor in NY and my doctor in NY called me and told me to
report back to the emergency room.

And so I was admitted last night to Scranton Regional Hospital, and am sitting
here with a Heparin IV drip and discussion of Luvenox? vs Coumadin or Warfarin.
I f the Luvenox is okay with my Dr in NY, I can go home tomorrow; otherwise I
could be five days.

I suppose we'll do to Luvenox if it's okay with MSK. Albert is already adept at
removing the chemo bottle from the Mediport on Sunday mornings after Friday
treatments, so one more addition to his medical repertoire shouldn’t be a big
deal.

They've been very thorough here, I believe -- with a cardiologist checking my
heart (looks good) and a Lung specialist filling me in on details of different
therapies. Of course, it's a hospital so  the coffee is terrible (Albert just
went to get me decent coffee after bringing me the laptop); because of the ct
Scan I hadn’t eaten anything yesterday and ended up with a turkey sandwich in
the ER.

My Dr in NY was very concerned that I had walked to and from the hospital, but
then we walk everywhere, and I try to walk a mile or two a day. Last week we did
nearly five miles to and through Nay Aug Park here in Scranton. What was
considered good is now considered not so good, but perhaps that I had no
symptoms relating to the lung problems might be because I am is reasonable shape
with the walking.

In any case, please remember me in your prayers.
