040918 - ..
040919 - On 090618 1743 the medical team did not notify Millie she was at risk,
040920 - so went to Lafayette Reservoir today and did a test hike to evaluate
040921 - progression of breathing problems; Millie notified the team she could
040922 - not complete 1 lap, ref SDS 83 LE7M, and so was discouraged.
040923 - ref SDS 83 TG4Q She requested planning for further tests and

040935 - 1. Subject: Hiking Today Improves Less Duress Thanks for Guidance
040936 - Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:37:15 -0700
040947 - ..
040948 - 2. I tried again today [implementing guidance from Doctor Johnson
040949 - received this morning at 0929, and reported on 090619 1208.
040950 - ref SDS 84 LE7M] and was pleased to complete a lap at Lafayette
040951 - Reservoir (2.75 miles) without duress breathing. I went the
040952 - easy route, so the toughest hills were downhill today, which
040953 - reduced the load on the lungs. But I actually did a lap and a
040954 - half, and even the easy route has some long hills; so, very
040955 - pleased with progress today [improving exercise limited by
040956 - breathing difficulties, reported yesterday on 090618 1743.
040957 - ref SDS 83 TF4U]
040958 -
040959 - [On 090626 1140 Kaiser medical chart reports Millie hiking
040960 - Lafayette Reservoir; does not report rising breathing
040961 - problems that prevent exercise and normal activity.
040962 - ref SDS 85 576H
040964 - ..
040965 - 3. Might my lungs adjust similar to lymphatics?
040967 - ..
040968 - 4. On 080606 Doctor Riley-Paul advised, during a meeting at Kaiser
040969 - preparing for surgery to configure the Power Port, that
040970 - problems for several years with the left arm swelling up after
040971 - exercise, and then landing me in the ER, because my lymphatic
040972 - system on the left side was reduced with left breast mastectomy
040973 - on 051021, ref SDS 3 0001, would subside, because the
040974 - remaining lymphatic system would become more robust over time.
040975 - ref SDS 7 4P7L
040977 - ..
040978 - 5. This seems to have occurred. Until IBC migrated to the lower
040979 - left arm following the snafu of untreated IBC in my chest, I
040980 - had no further lymphedema in the left arm for a year.
040982 - ..
040983 - 6. Can the same occur with diminished capacity in my lungs? Will
040984 - the "ground glass" nodules dissipate naturally? Might the
040985 - lungs simply expand a bit to offset loss of capacity? What
040986 - recovery scenario is planned?
040988 - ..
040989 - 7. On Thursday, a week ago on 060911, Mary in the Kaiser Physical
040990 - Therapy Clinic at Park Shadelands ordered a new compression
040991 - sleeve to treat new lymphedema on my left arm, per above. She
040992 - feels the sleeves I have are inadequate for the scope of the
040993 - new problem [of rising lymphedema due to IBC migrating to the
040994 - lower left arm, as a result of medical mistake that failed to
040995 - treat cancer in the breastbone area, reported by Doctor Hsu on
040996 - 090609 0900. ref SDS 69 W65W] Mary submitted an order last
040997 - Thursday, and said it requires your approval. Has this come
040998 - across your desk? Please let me know, so I can follow up with
040999 - Mary.
041001 - ..
041002 - 8. Thanks again for timely response today on the lung issue
041003 - [noting Doctor Johnson responded earlier today to Millie's
041004 - letter asking about risks of further lung damage from exercise,
041005 - and the doctor approving Millie for exercising to tolerance,
041006 - reported on 090619 1208. ref SDS 84 LE7M] Glad there is better
041007 - news today indicating possible recovery underway [per above,
041008 - ref SDS 0 2T8L].
