This plastic delight is called an incentive spirometer. It helps increase my inhaled lung volume and get rid of mucus. This exercise requires me to take deep breaths while keeping a little floating marker between two arrows. A big blue piston rises and shows my approximate lung volume. There’s an indicator that I can use to track my progress.
Now, I know this thing is supposed to help my lungs, but it’s such a pain in the ass. Ten to fifteen times an hour I have to suck on this thing. It’s like a plastic bong that doesn’t get me high. However, it does give me headaches. I think the only way I could get a worse headache from this spirometer is if I set it on fire and inhale the burning plastic fumes.
I’m so impatient. I want to be better now. It’ll probably take MONTHS, though. I hate pneumonia.
Hello,
This is your cuz in Baltimore.
Hope you are feeling better. I have ofen in the past asked about you, your brothers, and your Dad.
I heard last year that your Dad was pretty sick and you were visiting him. Hope he is better. I never knew exactly what was wrong…
Anyway, it would be nice to hear how you all are.
Kathy
