Today I had my pulmonary function test — another new experience on my medical adventure.
It was actually rather fascinating. The technician was super clear and articulate, as well as extremely encouraging, cheering me on to extend my inhalation or exhalation just a little bit longer.
I was surprised at how tired I was when I got home afterwards; I think it was more of a workout than I appreciated in the moment. It also took a lot of concentration to remember when to inhale quickly, hold my breath, pant like a puppy, or one of the other very specific actions.
I’m pretty sure the results will show that I have healthy lungs (although I guess one never knows for sure).
