So. Remember the bronchoscopy? I was to phone the doctor's office for a follow up appointment in two weeks.

Called. He's away for two weeks, and he is fully booked until October.

So, I told his reception person my woes about trying to call him at the hospital, and then left the whole problem in her lap.

I completely wash my hands of this. I assume (I know) that if something horrible is going on that someone will let me know before it kills me. I suspect I feel this way because I don't really think something lethal is going on.

In the meantime I am wrestling with a small annoyance. For the three mornings after the procedure I am to cough up whatever is in my lung and spit it into a specially prepared receptacle. There is a receptacle for each morning. My problem is two-fold: I don't have very much to cough up, and I was taught very thoroughly not to spit, so getting the very little I've got into the receptacle almost involves a barf reflex. Oh well. I hope I'm getting something more than just saliva into the little tub.

Kinda. Sorta.

Dr. called. Things found so far are not worrying. More things need to be cultured, and I get to call the same hospital switchboard again on Friday at noon.

Very smoky here. There are fires everywhere.

If you want to keep up with BC fires only, there's this:
