Another hot day in Seattle. One more hot day to go before it cools off on Friday. As I have mentioned the heat affects my energy and steps taken. Today was common of the last few days 7,800 steps over 3-miles.
I did receive the results of my chest CT scan and the positive news is that my lungs are healing, decreased evidence of inflammation or infection. I have continued to not require oxygen during daytime hours. Tomorrow I will have my pulmonary function tests done. That will tell us if my lung function supports the x-ray findings. Lab tests also will be done as well as my visit with my clinical team. I will make them aware of my lower energy levels. Having said that, on Friday a cortisol stimulation test will be done. I will receive a chemical injection to simulate my fight or flight response to evaluate whether of not I need hydrocortisone supplements.. That should be helpful to know where I stand.
So far so good with our countdown at the moment.
