Me? Normal???

[tidegirl]

So I am a respiratory therapist/sleep technologist. Today a coworker was needing to train another coworker on doing pulmonary function tests (for those of you who have had them the test where they scream at you to BLOW BLOW BLOW BLOW BLOW into a machine) and she volunteered me to be the patient. With a 25 pack year smoking history I was nervous to see the results, but I was curious at the same time. All results were within normal limits. Yea ME!!!!

Do you know if the results were nominal before vaping?

After six months of vaping, my O2 absorption level went from 92% to 98%! Have hit 99% since then.

Unfortunately no. I haven't been a PFT guinea pig since I was in school in 1998. Results were normal then, but that was a lot of packs of Marlboro Lights ago. I do wish I had a pre vaping PFT.

Yes, indeed.


I posted this just the other day...

--When I was smoking I could hold my breath for around 30 seconds
--After 12 months of vaping I could hold my breath for around 90 seconds
--After 17 months of vaping I got a Pulmonary Function test and my results were ABOVE normal
--After 30 months of vaping I could hold my breath for around 110 seconds

Yay you!!

Some times I have to take that test for work if a respirator is required. It was about 4 years ago It took everything I had to pass it I took one last year about 6 months in to vaping and passed with flying colors.

Congratulations! It would have been awkward if your lungs were almost as bad as the patients youre trying to help
