I'm traveling and didn't see this until today.

Bill, I'm very glad to hear you're is on the mend. You will most certainly be kept in my prayers.

We old dudes have to look after each other.

WB, nice to read that you are back, and thanks for the report. Best wishes for an uneventful recovery!

Thank you Ed. As we get older we can't rebound as quickly.

Thanks Charles. I'm glad to be back.

I wish Wildbill all best and a quick recovery.

Well, I should have started to read the end of the thread before I added my post.
Glad to hear you are back Wildbill.

That's for sure.

Update - I just got back from an appointment with a pulmonary specialist.
He is going to keep me on blood thinners [no surprise] for at least three more months.
I have a follow-up appointment scheduled in December. So far so good.
I am feeling great so it looks like I will be hanging on to my boots for a while.

Fantastic news WildBill and thanks for the update. Mary and I will continue to fervently pray for you.

Next follow-up in December is a very good sign!

Andy will be disappointed about the boots, but he'll get over it.

Great News WildBill,
Glad to hear your feeling better, follow the doc's orders, and let us know if you need anything.
Go ahead and polish your boots and send a pic to AndyC of you wearing them!!

yay! the doc must not be too concerned if he doesn't want to see you for 3 months.
this is good news! we like having you around.

Well I finally have an update. I had a follow-up CT scan just before Christmas.
Due to the holidays the report was slow in coming, but I just got off the phone with my doctor.
He had some great news.

The CT scan showed that the clot in my lung is completely gone.

I will continue with the blood thinners until my current bottle is empty.
Obviously I am very happy and very pleased with the outcome. I will go
back in another six months and have another lung function test to establish
a new baseline.

Thank you all for your prayers, good thoughts and support.

Great News WildBill!!

Glad to hear those boots will still be safely on your feet, for a long time.

Prayers of thanksgiving sent.
