lung function test

I did my lung function test today. My appointment was at 11am but I arrived at the K27 clinic at ENT, GH Blk 2, at 11.20am. I waited till 12, before I did my test. As I waited, I saw many others who went into the room and had to stop the test midway because of breathing difficulties. Most of the patients taking the test were people who suffer from asthma. I sat there, waiting and reading my 30 kids' journals, which entertained me fortunately. Though they never fail to drive me up the wall sometimes, I miss their innocence and adorable faces.

I completed my lung function test in 20 minutes. It all involves me, blowing big breaths into this bubble machine, which sends data into a computer and generates a graph. It was a breeze, compared to the horrifying bone marrow test yesterday.

I will be going for my PET scan tomorrow and the entire procedure will take 3 hours.
