@cwal @pacathy @lilianna @rstel7272 Thank you all for the kind words. This is just prep for my new Pulmonologist.

I got the portal message last night that we all hate: "Inadequate Sample, testing halted" Grrr...so I'm working today to produce a new and better one.

I have not had a CT or sputum culture since 2021 - no symptoms, only 2 exacerbations, and I produce little sputum, so the old pulmo wouldn't order one. Those showed reduced nodules, no cavities or opacities and minimal (less than 1+) bacteria at 8 weeks.

Rick - this is my first test for this new Pulmonologist - she accepted me into her closed practice when her partner retired a year early. She wants to see "where we are today" and said she orders regular CTs & sputum tests for her patients, frequency determined by her exam and test results.

So, back to the neb & second round of 7% saline today.
