Bronchoscopy

Today I am scheduled for a bronchoscopy to see if they can determine why I coughed up blood two weeks ago. I doubt they will fine any cause. Now that they have reassured me that it is not cancer, I am not very worried. Because I could not eat this morning, I decided to skip my morning routine. I just slept in and relaxed before heading to the hospital at 10 a.m.

The broncoscopy was uncomfortable but not painful. They advised me not to drive or make any important decisions for the rest of the day. I can see why. I felt kind of woosy (is that a word?) all afternoon and evening.
