My PFTs actually went pretty well! When I got back to the exam room and the nurse took my temp, she asked how I was feeling. I told her I was okay, just feeling a bit drained and congested. I had a low grade temp of 99.8. I was so frustrated when she told me. I had only worked 4 1/2 days and was getting sick again! I'm so tired of handling this. I stayed calm though, waited for Dr. Thompson, and heard him out.
He reviewed my kidney function tests first. The aspirin is so important that we're not going to change anything for now. He's just going to continue to monitor the kidney function regularly and make changes if things get worse.
He said it appears as though I'm getting another sinus infection. He seemed as sad and frustrated as I am. He apologized for not knowing how to help my sinuses and that the surgery didn't seem to help. As far as the high eosinophil count, he discussed the possible causes and wanted to run some more tests to narrow the field. He also wanted to check for some other diseases and problems that could manifest with pulmonary symptoms. He ordered more labwork and said he would call me when it comes back.
Talk about perfect timing and dear friends though ~ this card from Linda was waiting for me at the end of the day. :)
