Thanks you for all replys. Day before yesterday I developed an annoying wheeze not when I inhaled but only on exhalation. I finally called in and was told to be at my surgeon's office by 8am. So I went down,dr ordered bloodwork and cat scan. By 1:00pm I was back in his office and I was pronounced fit as a fiddle except they found a small pocket of trapped carbon dioxide around my lung. He said it was probably was no big deal but to be safe he placed me on a 10 day antibiotic,don't want any pneumonia. Said he see me again,Lord wills in two weeks. I was so thankful to be back home. I have dropped 20 pounds from the time he seen me to yesterday. So thankful those 20 lbs are gone. Looking forward for more to be gone. Pat 99 I will strive to remember about why U can't have powdered protein the first week out.
