Tests...

I thought I only had to go in for pulmonary rehab today, but alas, the scheduling nurse called and said they wanted me to do full pulmonary tests (takes 1+ hour) and a VQ scan in addition to the pulmonary rehab. This day suddenly got a whole lot more tiring! 

The VQ scan measures breathing and circulation in the lungs. Part of the process involves wearing a sealed mask. Prayers for this part, please. I am claustrophobic and not looking forward to this :( The VQ also requires some radioactive fluid through an IV--maybe I'll glow in the dark afterwards? lol

I'll try to let you know how it all went. If you don't hear from me today it's because I was too tired!
Hugs to all,
Lynda
