Well, The doc did a bore scope on my vocal cords while back, an the left one is parallized! No wonder I cant talk. He decided I needed a cat scan on my chest. Did that! an it comes back that ther is a 'leasion' on my left upper lobe, that is putin pressure on a nerve that controles that vocal cord! All the lympth glands are puffy which explaines the pain in my neck and ears! Bottom line....I got to go this week an get a autopsy ah biopisey! Then later I got to get that thing took out! Dont know right where this is headin right now, so Id appriceate yer talkin to our Maker on my behalf. I aint got time fer this, but recon some things will have to wait!
Will be glad to dntn

Update 'shok' hdslp
Last Friday while settin at the computer punchin in tax info for th govemet, (had been doin that for several days) I got a cramp in my left calf. Got up and tried to walk it off....no luck! Went to bed with it after applyin horse liniment to my calf, an Jack to my belly! Jack seems to know what to do in cases like this.
Well after a weekend of dull misery, snns takin pain pills to sleep, exct. exct. I had some runnin around to do, and some gates to build at the farm. Got up took my pills and took off. 6 hrs later I was back home for another pain pill. Wife got involved,.. decided it could be a clot, since they pulled me off my aspirin so they can do the biopsy.Well she went to pullin strings in her network. She is a nurse for 50 years with a BSN. Knows every health care person in Golden Triangle, what they do good, and who to steer clear of. This was noon30 Monday. Got an ultrasound done on my leg, that showed a clot, and was in a room by 6pm to start dealin with the clot!
In the mean time I was scheduled for a needle biopsy on the upper part of my left lung, Wednesday. Wife got the ultrasound done at the same hospital, that was to do the biopsy. So Here we set. Powers that be are getting everything together to do the biopsy now, so that they can then deal with the clot! All this is goin to be covered by ins. See Andria is a Case Manager. She sees that patients meet criteria before they are treated. I would have just tuffed it out till I stroked out, with out her. If you got a good woman, yer a lucky man!!!
Any how, I had ate light at lunch, cause of th pain. We got in th room around 6pm. Supper had already been served, and everybody was tryin to tye up all the loose ends from getting me admitted so fast. Finally about 8;30 they brought me 2 Turkey samichs, an 2 little viles of canned pears, with a small graham cracker. It is now 10 am, and I cant have any thing to eat due to they have to put me down to do the biopsy. Im starvvin!
Some wanted up dates, so that's where we stand! Sure need to start drawiin some better cards!
Thanks fellers fer all th thoughts. Keep it up it aint over till th fat lady sings! SoonasI get some results I'll bring yall up to date.
Many Prayer's for you. Good thing you have a good women by your side. Get better soon.
Prayers continue from me.

Payers going your way.
thmbsup Payers still goin up for ya sweed
Got the biopsy done, workin to disolve the clot now with anti-coagaulent pills. Hope to make a break outa this place today! When I get some feedback on the sample Ill get back ta ya! Nothin left to do but set an wait! hdslp slep [hmm] :mini-devil-28492:
Are hearts are there in room with you sweed....Tom
Got to do another "core sample" biopsy with a much bigger needle bunkr on Friday! Lab says they didnt get enough for a definitive result, bs but the doc that took it says they had plenty! thmbsup After a Doc conference they decided to do another one, srndr to be sure. We think that since they found nothing on the first one, that there will be nothing
there on the next go round. In that case there may not be any surgery! :applause:
The leg is a little better, but after Friday they will restart the anti-coagulant to finish dissolving the clot! Have to be off that med. for 2 days before the biopsy! We hangin in there, hopein for the best. Just a little frustrated with changein horses in mid stream! Nothin left to do but wait. wtch
Better to change horses in midstream than to catch a ride in the herse! You take care and know we are all pullin for you!
They did the core sample last friday....got the results today!!!! No Cancer! thmbsup Once I get this clot outa my leg I should be good to go! Thanks for all the Prayers and thoughts....Good to have some friends out there!
Prayer works! Great news and thank you for letting us know.
That's great news. Hope your back to normal soon. thmbsup
Now, this is sounding like great news. thmbsup

Hope you are well soon......... chrrs
Well guys, it seems that nobody believes what they have found so far....I go in for an open biopsy 27apr15. They want to be sure! Sorry for late post, thought Id posted somethin here about it. Ill be down for a while after this surgery, dont know how long. They dont even know exactly what they will do once inside. The growth is close to a major vain, and may be attached!? They may have to take the whole lung! That would be worst case, but it is a possibility! The fat lady aint sung yet, so keep up your much appreciated, prayers and thoughts! thmbsup
Many prayers for you Sweed. We'll be pulling for you.
Just a little worried about th down time. Aint never been laid up over a day or two!
I am praying for you brother. The Lord is all powerful and kind and answers our prayers. Keep strong and steady. He is their for you and always have been! You are precious to him. I am praying for you.
Prayers up and stay strong sweed
O K! The open surgery biopsy is Monday at 0700! They gona go in an take some of it and find out exactly what is there, and th conditions,......take a break ta talk to my wife and son, and then take some action. Could loose 1/3 or 2/3 of that lung. Could just remove it alone!....Nobody knows till they are in there! Thank yall fer th Prayers, say a special one 0700 Monday! Got th best Docs in town on this one!....but depending on Lord God Almighty ta guide them!
You are in my thoughts and prayers Sweed. May the good Lord bless and keep thee.
Will have you in my prayers, especially at 07:00
May the Lord guide the Doc's hands, and heal you entirely Sweed.
You have my best wishes and prayers, my friend.
I know you probably won't but try and get a good night's sleep tonight. It always helps shake off the anesthetic quicker if you get some sleep the night before. I know however, that is easier said than done. I also recommend that you have a light snack and a lot of fluids about 15 minutes before you can no longer eat or drink; usually 11:45 pm. I hope and pray that your doctors have to do the minimum and get this out of you once and for all but no matter the outcome, maintain a positive attitude. We are all pulling for you one way or another, each according to our own beliefs.
Let us know the outcome as soon as you can or have someone post an update or email me with one. Prayers are already loaded in the breech ready to be fired off!
Best wishes sweed, all my prayers are going your way.
We are all with you this morning, At least in spirit. Get well soon and lets go make some smoke....
