Chest CT-atelectasis in right lower lobe

My chest CT is showing atelectasis which is most likely from radiation damage, irreversible. I do get short of breath going up stairs and over exerting myself but I’m overweight by 50 lbs at least. It’s normal for fat people to struggle with exercise.  They will just continue to monitor it. Same with the spot on my right humoral head. Just watch it. My last CT of the chest did let the radiologist view my T7 & T8 radiated spots and verifies they are still stable. Love it when there’s nothing to report that’s negative. Next scan in December is an MRI of the spine. I guess my leash is still a short one. They watch me so closely and so frequently that it’s easy to get frustrated and annoyed. But negative scans are good and nothing new is what we pray for. 

As I write this, sitting in first class on a 787 airplane out of Newark, I realize I’m so blessed to have just spent five days in New York/Newark with my love so he could go rub elbows with other IT geeks. I realize that maybe I really do need a bucket list to be working on to truly live my life! I didn’t even know NYC was on that list...but Erik knew I’d love it like I did.  New York was amazing and my eyes were wide just like a kid on Christmas morning. The lights, the sounds, and people, and traffic, transportation,  and abundance of police, the shops, and restaurants, the locals and even homeless. The “melting pot” of the country, the largest city in all the USA. I loved it all! I was in awe! I really am blessed to get to share things like this with Erik, who is always there to support me, love me, and spoil me.
