6 days prior we just returned from our jam packed Disney/Universal adventure. It was a fun time but very busy attempting to see the "hot "spots " in a short time. Eric had a great time and that's what counts.
Monday morning my gimpy husband ( I told him to do stretches and he didn't listen) and I drove over to U of W. I got labs, did a 6 min walk test, got blood gases drawn, and then my least favorite test: spirometry. Anyone that has lung issues knows this is a torture chamber and to be quite honest it looks like one as well especially when they close the door and seal you in this 3 foot wide box.
I'll see if I can link a pic:

I don't like doing lung function testing because it's hard to do, my whole future lies on these numbers, and my face turns red and I don't look cute. Haha!
My current lung function is 28%. So I'm holding steady and everyone on my team is agreeable to keep my status on the list as a Level 7 which is basically a holding pattern.
So I will keep marching forward day by day, grateful for each, praying for another.
