I had a broncoloscopy

Late Monday afternoon my pulmunologist office called and scheduled my broncoloscopy for 8am this morning. The procedure went well. I had one earlier this year in the hospital and today's was much more comfortable which I assume means they gave me better drugs. :O) The good news is that I do not have any mucus or fluids in my lungs so we do not need to worry about pneumonia. The bad news is that I have saliva and mucus pooling in my throat just above my vocal cords. Apparently everyone swallows saliva and some mucus daily without realizing it, only I am not swallowing mine which is why it gets caught in my throat and I spit up. My vocal cords were swollen and red so I am not sure what that means but fortunately I have not had any changes in my speaking ability. The doctor believes the pooling is due to swallowing issues which could be bad because with ALS they can't fix the swallowing issue so I am likely stuck with the spitting and not eating. Although the full report won't be done by tomorrow the doctor wrote out a short note explaining the above in fancy doctor terms for me to take to clinic tomorrow. I am not expecting anything new at clinic tomorrow. More to come after clinic.
