Results

Well I got the results of my tests yesterday.  The pulmonary function test I scored higher than normal.  The CT scan didn't show anything abnormal other than some scarring from an old bout of pneumonia.  They did see a spot (sclerotic focus at the T5 vertebrae that may represent atypical hemangioma.  The doctor said to follow-up with another specialist.  

I was supposed to reduce my inhaler to one puff twice a day.  I tried it this morning and within an hour I had a slight wheeze.  Just took another puff on the inhaler and the wheeze is gone.

The doctor wanted to wean me off the meds to see if the bronchitis would come back.  I think I got my answer this morning. 

I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.  If I start wheezing I'll call the doctor's office to see what I'm supposed to do.
