Again, thanks girls for all your support. The surgeons office called to day and he has an appointment set for 1 PM tomorrow. I am glad we don't have to wait 2 weeks although to me it is scary that we got an appointment that early.


Remember i said I had several lab tests and chest xray right after my appointment. One of the tests she ordered was a BNP. I had never heard of it. Well I got the lab reports back today through my electronic chart. The BNP was 178 and normal is 0 - 100 so I looked it up. It is a measure of heart failure! I need a good sit down talk with my PCP. The chest xray says I have pnuemonia.
