Tomorrow

Yesterday I had blood work, an EKG and a chest X-ray. It sounds very routine, but I am apprehensive. I go in to look at the results tomorrow. I have lung cancer that is in remission and shortness of breath that has never gone away after covid in July. I have a blood clot on my lung. The tests were to determine if I can have a kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive back procedure.

I don't like the idea of getting bad news before the holidays. I would like to be around for a while yet to fight the battle against TSF. Wish me luck and good thoughts and prayers.
