Back from Penn Lung Center. Really good testing and visit. I walked farther in my six minute walk than I have in three years, almost 1400 feet without my oxygen levels dropping below 90 (I use oxygen on the walk but that means it is the proper supplemental level). My pulmonary function testing bounced back from three months ago, which made my doctor happy, since the drop last time caused a bit of a concern. Down to 260, so slowly but surely. And I got to talk for a couple of hours with Boru, one of the first year Penn Medical students who will be shadowing me form the next 18 months so that he can learn more than just the medical items, he can see how people cope, live, and thrive when having a chronic illness. He also gets to see what I struggle with and see that there is more to a patient than test results. So, a really good day, and Ill take it. I love my doctors! Its a GOOD THING! youtu.be/EjGb-ZYQGPA
