OHSU Trip Day3 (Should be heading home)

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Well, Today we found out that my lower right lung is fine now. Apparently it has healed completely.
My diaphragm is not paralyzed, but, it sits much higher than normal. (about half way between top and bottom of lung) I was prescribed a higher dose of advair. (500/50)
Both doctors (at pulminary/lung area) said that i just need to continue what i have been doing, and within 4-5 months... i will be fine. They also said that once my weight is down, to 180 (from 288) that my sleep apnea will most likely go away. (Yeah!

)

I went and saw the neurological specialist, and he said that every thing looked fine, but, that he needed to run more tests because he thinks i may have a neurological "disorder", where my recepters/receivers in my nerves are not working properly. (In each nerve, and muscle there are hubs, where it sends/receives orders to act/react). So, we are staying another night.

Today, as we were about to leave to go to dinner, to sort of celebrate that we finally have some clearly defined "blueprints"...so to speak... we found out that our left-rear tire was flat on our van. So, we called Les Schwab, and the guy came and repaired it for us. So, our trip money, went from 110$. to 60$.

We plan on leaving as soon as the test is over with tomarrow. We will head down to corvallis, and stay at my cousin tawnias house for the night. Then, we plan on leaving at 6 or 7 am and being home around noon. (depends on the roads)

We hope to get some pictures of Reiser Stadium, portland, Autzen stadium,etc... along the way... but, weather permitting... (It rains A LOT here, one of the docs said he had around 10' of water near his house...

)

Well, thats all for now...

(Oh, and my right arm feels like Hell... i got blood drawn 3 times todat, twice normally, once arterially, got 2 shots, and tested by being poked in the arm...its like flippin jelly)

Best Regards, Lucas
