Could we have a list somewhere with all the acronyms
Shortness of breath ?
Swiss Francs ?


Judy - you sound so positive considering the horrors you are going through - well done you, and best of luck.

I'd rather go with Swiss Francs, but the CHR is congestive heart failure, the nurse had a hard time telling me who 5 years ago was running up the mountains of southern California that the diagnosis was for me.
I do have lung damage from a surgery on my thoracic spine done a few years ago and i think the old scarring is what gave me the pneumonia diagnosis. Also contributes to the shortness of breath, but this time it was really horrible. Nothing i had ever experienced before.
I do try to have a good attitude , but it is getting more and more difficult, let me tell you.

Default I do agree

Your attitude is admirable Judy really. I am not quite that well balanced!

Hope you're continuing to feel better and I'll send you an email later on today to catch you up with my "stuff"~ take care! Maria
