Yes, we have wind.  I started this awhile ago and the power went off--but only for about 15 min. and now it is back--but what I had already written went bye bye.

 

The reason we didn't hear from our Dr. Newton was because the hospital sent the report to the wrong Dr. and his office didn't bother to send it on.??????  He was so very sorry.

 

This is the one paragraph you will be interested in:

 

Findings:  There are scattered infiltrates in the postriour portion of the right lower lobe in the basal segment and in the superiour segment due to pneumonia.  There may be a small infiltrate in the lateral basal segment of the left lower lobe also.  Lungs are otherwise normal. The mediastinum, chest wall and visualized upper abdomen are normal.

 

IMPRESSION.  Pneumonia in right lower lobe and possibly in the lateral segment of left lower lobe.

Dr. Newton says, How can you have pneumonia and not be sick???? He said he could give E. a prescription for anti-biotics but he knows Elmer will not take them. 

 

I know Elmer was quite ill the week that he had THE SWEATS but it almost passed before we realized he was sick and freezing and we bot the electric blanket. 

 

Anyway he told Dr. today that he is not sick.  BTW, he has gained 1/2 lb. 

 

The Dr. today said he does insist that Elmer come in for chest/lung xrays in about 5 weeks. 

 

Dr. Newton is located now in the same office building that I started working in -in 1961--we moved from the office in Medford.  So this Friday the office will be closed and they will open for business on this very next Monday--wow I do not see how.  It is 2 stories--really looks nice--behind this old one which will "go down" and will be their parking lot.  What a moved that will be.  The same 5 doctors--they looked for more--to no avail.  Medford is full of doctors and Barnett is full of doctors-dentists etc. hospitals and on and on. 

 

More tomorrow I am sure.  GG
