All,
Got my blood test results back today and tested positive for histo.
I feel much much better and Dr released me from his care with a follow up
for 6 months down the road.

All,
I am home now after an overnight stay in the hospital, I appreciate
everyones concerns and prayers. The Pulmonary Specialist Doctor, didn't
actually say I had Histoplasmosis, but treated me as if I had, they won't
know if I had Histoplasmosis or not till the tests all come back next week
, but have treated me as if I had it.
With this drug....Diflucin detailed link below
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluconazole
one night stay in the hospital and I did a 100% turn around...so I am
figuring I did...
I still have a slight cough, but not as bad as when I went in....
Xrays and CT Scans still shoed some slight scarring (spider webs is what
it looked like to me) but, doctors all agreed for me to go home.
Again thanks for tha prayers and concerns.
Good to be home even though I missed the Texas Caver's Reunion.

Subject: [PBSS] Hopsital stay
All,
I went to see a pulmonary specialist today and...
I am being admitted to the Midland Memorial Hospital this afternoon and
they believe I have contracted Histoplasmosis.
They are going to do a lung biopsy on Monday to make for sure the right
treatment is given.
This is bad, way worse that I thought
Please let everyone know.
Thanks,
Bill
