Home A Week Now in Still Listening to Spirit

This week has been short, lazy and I spent a lot of time in deep sleep during the day and again at night. I think I am catching up, at least I hope so. I have barely done any work for pay and as little as possible keeping the house straightened. I look around and it just doesn't matter.

I have been feeding us both, although neither of us are enthused about choosing something to eat. There's just not much that appeals. I am still fixing a lot of strawberry milk shakes for Bill.

Lynn wants Bill to go to Anchorage to a lung specialist. I have questions and suggestions before we make that trip.

In working pre-books, I am in touch with Gwen who operated Disc Sgy until lung surgery this last winter. She is still referring reservations she gets from her website to us. In passing, she mentioned that the 'lung cancer' she was diagnosed with by 2 doctors was not that. She said she wanted one more opinion and went to the Mayo Clinic where they found a mold was causing her problems, took it out. and no further treatment was recommended.

Now that was a revelation. So I went online and found several fungi and mold that are possibilities given symptoms and some of the things that cause them. I also found a couple of parasites related to dog feces and the handling thereof that can infest lungs and other organs.

So I want to discuss with Lynn whether or not these have been considered. Also, I want her to take another x-ray to see if anything has changed. We also did not do a biopsy on whatever it is in there while in Juneau after the tB was 'diagnosed' and I want to know if they can find out more by doing this.

I also want to know what a lung specialist would do to diagnose that can't be done here or in Juneau. Anchorage is big...well big for Alaska with over 20,000 people, impersonal, busy, and expensive.

Anyway, Bill is a wee bit better. He still has no energy but is making the effort to do things. Yesterday he did the dishes, although it took him sitting down 3 times for what was really a small amount of work.

So, nothing new, resting and recovering. Cloudy here with some sun I got out in to brighten my mood a bit. I feel flat, uninterested in doing anything but reading a book or roaming the web.

Maybe I am writing too soon after I woke this morning. Who knows.

Blessed be!
