Lung function

Just a quick note to say that I had my lung function test today and it all came back normal! Yay!

I had to breathe into a bag attached to a machine, basically. I could see my breathing being measured on a little graph in front of me, which was interesting. I then had to do this exercise when I emptied my lungs, breathed in hard then held it for around 9 seconds. I failed the first time because I got a bit anxious about doing it right and, promptly, got it completely wrong. Fine after the second time though, and all normal readings. 

He said that there was 102% of predicted haemoglobin in my breath (sorry medical readers, I'm a layman and just assumed that was good!) and other tests were above the standard so I'm super happy with that :)

I had a nice chat with the guy, too, who mentioned about the amazing prognosis and also had yet another anecdote about a relative who had gotten through Hodgkin :). 

Another fertility appointment tomorrow, then it's all on to Friday.
