After a 12 hour fast, they will check my blood, then X-ray my chest. My bloodwork will show nothing significant except a warning to drink more water based on a high creatinine score. The X-ray will not show any alarming news regarding my lungs. Next, they'll put me in a sealed glass booth and have me breathe through a hose. She'll say "Blow! Empty your lungs." I will, then she will direct me to not inhale for 15 seconds. I'll pass out. Then she'll make me do it all over again.
The results of the Pulminary Function Test will show that my lungs are just fine or probably more than fine. I do play the tuba now and then. I may have one or two unknown tests before the clinic. The clinic is schedule for an hour and a half with a nurse, physicians assistant and a doctor. They will go over my test results, poke me and ask a thousand questions.
When it's over, they will me tell I'm doing great. Compared to so many others I know they're right. We will see how close my predictions will be. The jet engines are warming up. Thanks for reading.
