Back from Gainesville

Nov 11, 2005 21:26

Hey everybody I got back from Gainesville yesterday around 9:00 p.m. I would have been home sooner but they had to do some unexpected tests yesterday. I went up there yesterday for a post-op exam (post-operation exam) The good news is im fine after the surgery!! everything looks really good. The bad news is my breathing has become much worse lately, im having a very hard time catching my breath, trying to fill my lungs up all the way with oxygen and also expelling all the oxygen out of my lungs. In other words breathing has become a workout for me and before I would have had a hard time breathing and it would last for about 30 minutes, well now it can last for about an entire day, or most of the day, and it also happens when I can just be sitting around watching T.V. Im also beginning to lose my breath from just walking short distances, like walking from my computer in my living room to my room. And then when I was in Gainesville I was able to see one of my doctors who I wasn't expecting to see, but thank god I did. I told him what was going on, and he said I needed to have my second pulmonary function test (a test to see the volume of air my lungs can hold, also to see if the sir inside my lung is getting trapped inside my lung which it already was), basically its a test to see if im getting worse then the last time they did the test which was three months ago so I did the test which is very tiring and stressful for me, all I have to do though is do different kinds of breathing into a machine. So the test results came back and I will just skip the whole fancy words and definitions and stuff because it takes too long. So the test came back and Im getting worse, more air is getting trapped inside my lung then before and my lung is still collapsing, so from what I just gathered while Im writing this is if they do nothing for another 3 months I will be physically unable to dance and not just because my mom says im not supposed to but because i will not be able to at all, i will also have a very hard time going from my computer to my room, I will also just pretty much have just an impossible time breathing in general, so while I was writing this I just realized how serious Im getting, and I also just realized that three months from now will be February so if they do nothing by February I won't be able to dance at the U.S.O. performance. So now Im REALLY THRILLED!!!!!! (sarcasm)
