Just another crisis

This journey of mine called cancer has provided many challenges, some I have written about others are far too personal and have not. For the most part I have weathered the challenges and come out the other side just a little worse for the wear, this is cancer after all. I have had my wonderful wife there every step of the way, I think save a few incidents the various crisis have been harder on her than me. Yesterday everything changed, the day started normally enough, I felt some preasure and a little pain in my lungs I have felt that before. Pammy says she knew something was wrong, I dont know that would have made any difference but she still was beating herself up about it. We left the house to run errands around mid afternoon we stopped for lunch, The pressure in my right lung had been building, it has done this before and I thought it would subside. It didnt. We had just finished lunch when I asked Pammy to take me to the ER I could not breath and the pain was tremendous. The next hour or so untill the Morphine went into the IV was the longest of my life and I was convinced I was gonna die. We pulled into the ER there was a nurse out front taking a woman to her car in a wheel chair I got her attention by shouting I can't breath. Shouting it a dozen more times in the crowded waiting room got me into the back within moments and angering the waitng people. Remember, I thought I was gonna die. It took maybe another 30 minutes or so, though it seemed like hours. Finally sweet relief and I realized I would live after all. When all was said and done, after an Exray and CT scan nothing was found abnormal. That has been a constant theme for me, my lung scans have been normal, the blood clots were there as they expected but no damage they could see that would cause the pain. The Doctor could only guess and say that debris has sluffed off and settled in causing the crisis. After several hours they released me with pain pills which I took when I got home. This morning everything is back to normal I feel tired from the experience but have no Pain. Go figger, such is my life and it makes me wonder what the next crisis will bring.
Always with love,
Tony.
