Got a call back from the pulmonologist's assistant. She took my info down and said he'd call me back about making an appointment.

Talked to the exec at my company who gave me the doc's phone number. He said he spoke with his brother-in-law about this; his b-i-l was a fire captain (I think- might've been police) who served at Ground Zero. The exec said he described my cough to his b-i-l and got an instant response of 'yeah, that's typical of the guys who were down there- here's the doctor's number, have her call'. Having a complete stranger make a comment like that based on a description is kind of disturbing...

Am considering taking the black humour approach to all of this. If the pulmonologist determines that something is wrong as a result of my two days at Ground Zero I will be changing the subtitle on this journal to 'All My Scars Are On The Inside. No. Literally.'

We see you now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars?

Well, you've been a mod at Milliways for a while. It probably counts.

Hey there... Hmm, probably not the most cheerful entry to make my first comment on, though I hope you can get whatever ails you successfully treated, in any case. (I'm a Milliways'er, btw.)

I don't know when you were in downtown Manhattan last, but today I passed Hook & Ladder Co. 8 and the garage happened to be open. I wandered inside, said hello to the nice firefighters and asked if I could take a photo and they said sure. Got a shot of the Ghostbusters sign (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/swankyfunk/2009/233-08-21-09.jpg) and thought of Ray/you.

Cheers :)

Not a problem! And, yeah, I've been to Hook and Ladder No. 8- I bought one of their firehouse shirts with the Ghostbusters ghost coming out of the FDNY logo a few years back. They're nice guys down there.

Thank you!

I work two blocks from there. They're all decent blokes.

Fingers crossed and good luck with everything. :/
