Jim's Lungs Are Stupid!

I was hopeful that Jim's scan would be all clear skies with no growth but that isn't the case. Here's what the results said, "Masslike consolidation right lower lobe extending somewhat along the hilum into the right upper lobe and right middle lobe. Overall, this is minimally increased since recent exam but enlarging since 11/3/2021." This could be a number of things, including pneumonia, sarcoidosis and/or a result of his radiation. He will move his appointment up 3-4 weeks with the pulmonologist and discuss where to go from here. Dammit! Damn Jim and his stupid lungs and melanoma! ARG! 

And here's the thing too, when he got up and while I was doing yoga he had a major coughing fit which in itself isn't uncommon but it was worse than usual. I yelled down, "What the heck is going on?!" He answered with an "I'm alright" but I just don't like that! Otherwise, by the way, he's been feeling fine. 

In other news, I did a yoga today with "minimal cues" and it was quite nice. A lot of times when I do yoga, I get annoyed with the "teacher" and all talk talk talk. Sometimes I'm like, "SHUT UP!" Today, was lovely. All she did was call the next pose and for the most part, I knew what she was calling without having to look. However, she tends to use the technical yoga terms and there was one or two which I had to glance at the screen to know what she meant. I'll have to do more of those yoga routines.

Dinner tonight will be either Salisbury steak or I might just make burgers. We'll see what Jim wants. But if I know Jim he'll choose Salisbury so he can have mashed potatoes. But maybe I'll not ask him and just do burgers and make pork chops tomorrow and serve the mashers with those. It's a pickle. 

Boo's a bad boy! This morning, for the first time in weeks, Scout didn't eat. He came in from his morning potty and headed straight upstairs to go back to bed. I left the food down, however, in case he decided he was hungry. I was paying attention but I guess not enough because right before I head up, Boo slipped away from me and I heard the chomp, chomp, chomp of him being a pig. I berated him a little (told him he was a bad boy) but he doesn't care. 

Oh! A toe update: Since the weekend, my toe has improved amazingly. There's barely anything to see and yesterday I walked Scout 3 miles then did the elliptical and I had NO pain. Zero. Zip. Zilch! Knock on wood this continues. 

Okay - time to get a move on. Man oh man, those birds are so loud this morning. K - happy Tuesday. Later!
