Shortness of Breath

 A hospital room is not where i expected to be for Thanksgiving Sunday. Its day 9 of my vacation back Toronto and its day 8 of my visit to the hospital. Two days ago I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis. My right lung is completely collapsed.

This is a normal chest x-ray of a healthy person:


Now my x-ray the entire right side is completely white. You cannot see lung.

I'm feeling alot better about the situation since I was diagnosed. Not knowing what I had was much worse. There are some complications with my case however. There is a chance my right lung will not work again. This fact is a scary one. I've been living on one lung for at least a couple months and the shortness of breath is really apparent. Going up one flight of stairs I need to catch my breath.

I'm out of words to say at the moment...

Hey Ming,
What a terrible way to spend your "vacation".. but maybe small bit of positive from this situation is that you found out in Canada & not in China?
Get well soon..
