breathing tests
Today I had my breathing tests at UW. The first one was an xray test of the diaphragm--it was cool to watch the xray when I did the breathing tests. You could see the diaphragm and chest moving. Then I went to respiratory for pulmonary function tests--lots of breathing and holding your breath. Luckily I didn't have to be shut in the box for this one. I did have to wear the nose clip--always a treat! Sorry I forgot to have pictures to document the occasion. Tomorrow I am going to a volunteer party for kexp so I will take lots of pictures.

I'm looking forward to the results of your tests, PJ : )
We went canoeing on the Cumberland River on Monday and the water level was very low. We had visions of lazy drifting in the shade paddling here and there. Not true... we rowed constantly for 3hours (5 miles) so we would not go in reverse, no shade, blazing sun and 89 degree weather! I will say, though, that the land was beautiful, not a sign of civilization anywhere while we were rowing on the river -- distant forest, wildflowers, birds... very nice. Headwinds hit us the whole way, quite the experience.
I'd love to hear Cass sing wouldn't you?
Sounds like a positive move forward.It will take lots of baby steps but you'll get there...take care,I'll call again soon..
