As I predicted, I got my CT report in the mail before el doctor has called. It is so annoying. I am trying to read this thing and while I get the basics, most the medical jargon is beyond me - wikipedia can only do so much.
Basically:
cylindrical and saccular bronchiectasis - I don't really get this, but I understand bronchectasis
lung abnormalities greatest in upper lobes, minimal disease in lower lobes (this has been said on my xrays for as long as I can remember)
here is one that I don't understand: "there are some generous sized bronchiolar artery collaterals noted in the mediastinum posterior to the distal trachea"
on to the sinuses. Sinusitis with a deviated septum and no polyps. I've never had polyps so this is not a big surprize either. Basically what I think the guys is saying is I have got some fucking INFECTED ass sinuses (not sure, but that is what it sounds like - everything is "opacicity this and opacicity that.")
So any MDs out there wanna help me dissect this further, be my guest.
As for the diviated septum. I'm not sure about that - some say surgery. I am not too into that idea but if it would reduce sinus infections, I might be talked into it. I am thinking we are looking at IVs at least.
You guys that read this boring blog are the best. I promise once my head stops hurting to write something mor exciting than wah wah wah Cf sucks - though, who could ask for a better audience??
