Better pneumonia than TB but neither one is a good choice when you don't have all of your lung capacity. Will add Bud and Rose to the prayer list and hope for a little Christmas magic.

CT scan ruled out cancer and makes TB very unlikely. It's either walking pneumonia or some other lung infection. I might get to go home this evening.

Thanks, y'all. It was a very strange week. I had fever, chills, and body aches at night, but was fine during the day, even went to work. But after the fourth day of night fevers, I went to the VA hospital ER, where I was diagnosed with pneumonia in what remains of my left lung. I hadn't really suspected pneumonia because I didn't even have a cold. Because my symptoms so closely resembled those of TB, I was admitted and kept in the hospital until TB could be eliminated. Both the TB test and the CT scan found no TB, so I'm home now with a just few days of antibiotics to take.

Thanks, Dianna. Yes, it's all relative. Pneumonia is indeed very serious, but over in the lung cancer forum, a pneumonia diagnosis always brings congratulations and celebrations all the way around, if no cancer is found with it.
