Pneumonia diagnosis

I had a CT scan and breath tests before meeting with Dr. Albert Polito, the pulmonary specialist at Mercy, 4/15/09. He said the antibiotics I was getting for the UTI and bronchitis were keeping symptoms of pneumonia at bay. But that's what I actually have. So he set me up with a 14-day supply of Avelox and an inhaler to take when I get coughing fits. I feel better already, albeit very tired. I am able to sleep better and longer. I went to chemo yesterday and Dr. Im prudently postponed chemo until next week. He did give me 3 grams of magnesium and an aranesp (red cell booster) shot. So I got only good stuff that will help get rid of the pneumonia. Yeah!
