Here it is Friday already. Gesh, the weeks just fly by.

I am still trying to cope with loosing Brutus. I know it'll take time. I can't seem to pull myself up and out of the "depressed" stage.

On Tuesday I meant to mention my visit with Dr. Gallaher, the pulmonologist in KNC. He's so awesome, I wish he practiced in Goldsboro. But, I am sticking with him. He took more time to listen to me and made sure I was comfortable. All in all, we were in with him for over an hour. He was impressed at how organized my records are :) We really don't have a change in plan other than he's going to be in touch with Dr. Morrison at Duke to inquire about me starting Viagra (yes, you read correctly, Viagra). I have a mild-moderate case of pulmonary hyptertension caused by the fibrosis and Viagra has been shown to reduce this, therefore making breathing a little easier. Could be fun too!

Oh he too reminded me, that I have been his only patient which he has not been able to do a bronchoscopy on because I fought him so hard. He said he gave me enough drugs to down a cow....hehehe!
