The Doctor Will See You Now.

 At the pulmonologist's office, they did four different types of breathing tests on a big fancy machine that whirred and clicked and a big clear drum moved up and down when I breathed.  No spirometer, Dale.

And the doctor reviewed the results with me and said my lung function is great. I was surprised and relieved, of course.  Btw, he said several of his patients have mentioned "becominganex.com" to him.  That was cool. 

But he said that cardiac problems can also cause my symptoms.  Yikes. So now I need to made appointments to go have a bunch of heart tests.

Thanks for all the support, you guys!  It means A LOT to me.

I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
