Went to the dr today. Got a printout of alot of missing PFTs. I updated my spreadsheet – and here it is!
I’ve had another 2% increase in PFTs – yet my upper right lobes are still junky. It’s day 23 of IVs – may extend to 5 weeks – we’ll make a decision next week.
I’ve noted IV times to the best of my records. And there’s also an entry from when I was 10 weeks pregnant!

You are a warrior! Look at how you fought to maintain those numbers. In fact, they’re not numbers. They are code to cfers that tell a story. And your story is a good one.
I like that comment! Thanks 🙂
So, the Unknown Cystic read my PFT results and posted the following on their blog:

LOVE IT !
Thanks Unknown Cystic !
Your interpretation is perfect !
Oh, my gosh. Look at all of these records. I feel like an idiot for not having mine. Part of the reason is that I jumped around, doctors quit or fired me, etc. It will take a couple visits to absorb this record.
BTW, another comment has come to mind. The way you’ve entered some comments on the side is really cool. The PDF becomes the literal outline for the story.
so as you can see I’ve been a bit OCD – but now it’s great to have the history. I wish I was more thorough with the notes. Will try to do better going forward 🙂
