Note
A mixed report on the COVID front. I had gotten a chest x-ray last week, and the report on the portal was that it showed signs of chronic lung disease. Not something I had ever heard about before, and I was pretty distressed. Anyway, today was the follow-up virtual visit with my PCP, or at least with her partner, equally bright pleasant and competent. She pulled up the x-ray and showed it to me, concluding pretty quickly that it was absolutely normal. Offered me a referral to a pulmonologist if I wanted something more definitive, but I declined. Prescribed me an inhaler for the cough and sensation of chest tightness. Things being the way they are in this backwater, the pharmacy won't have it until tomorrow afternoon. The doc said that my COVID cough may persist for up to a few weeks.
