Pulmonary Function Test

March 1, 2022 - I finished my 30-minute-long "pulmonary function test" here at Boca Raton Regional Hospital around 5:15 p.m. today. I arrived at the hospital emergency room yesterday morning for testing of my lungs, my heart, and my blood in preparation for my coronary artery bypass surgery (4 or 5 bypasses) on March 4. The plan is for me to be discharged this evening and return to the hospital during the early morning of March 4, 2022. My open-heart surgery is expected to take 5 hours.

UPDATE: My cardiologist just told me that I have to remain in the hospital. Damn. I thought I was getting out of here this evening.
