OHSU Trip Day 2

Well, today was a bit better.
We woke up at 7:30 am. Got dressed and ready, and went out the door at 8. We had an apointment at 9:25, but we wanted to grab breakfast and get a lay of the surroundings.
My first appointment was a pulminary function lab, were i did various tests to determine my lung capacity,etc... It went fairly quckley in terms of how long i felt it took... But, apparently it took an hour and a half...
My next appointment was at 11:15 the specimen collection office (Not *that* specimin...) Were i got my blood drawn with a butterfly needle (got like 5-6 tubes filled).
My next appoint ment was at 1:30 pm, so, we grabbed lunch real quick (stopped at a little deli and grabbed a couple sandwiches).
My next appointment (the one at 1:30) was an EKG/ECG (don't remember exactly which) It took around 45 minutes.... After that, we went and waited for a while, allowing for my mom to have a cigarette (I stood several feet away).
We then headed to our next appointment, which was at 3 pm, this was at the Neuromuscular clinic, which is on the 12th floor....
(And my mum doesn't do elevators....
) (so we climbed the stairs, going from 3rd floor, to 5th floor, 2nd floor, 10th floor, and 12th floor) At this appointment, i was zapped and pricked at (by a needle) to test my nerve/muscle system... and, apparently... from what they found, my diaphragm was fine. (WTF!?) Sooooo....., it seems that (at this moment) Either their test is wrong (I doubt it), or, my local hospitol mis-diagnosed me. (I highly suspect, given the hospitols credibility) So, we will find out at 1:30 tomorrow.
Next, I had an appointment at 5, which was a CT scan, where i got injected with Iodine/Iodide (not sure which). And then, after that, we had dinner...at a diner on the 3 floor..... then came home.
By the end of the day, I was pooped...climbing the flights of stairs, and going from one end of the campus to another...
They deffinantly did not place things ideal....
But, anyway...we will know more tomarrow....
Best Regards, Lucas
