Hard day and long side effects

Hi!! I thought I would take time to update you on how Don is feeling after the tests today. Don had a pulminary function test ...basically a lot of breathing exercises and measurements. This took A LOT out of Don and he felt the side effects almost immediately. He is now very fatigued today and his chest is very sore. I hope he sleeps ok tonight and feels better tomorrow. He did have to go into the office for one interview, but came home early feeling yucky. The second test we did was the bone density scan...this was actually relaxing for him after the hard work of the first test!! After today I can honestly say we are NOT looking forward to Tuesday...and having three tests to do in one day. I guess we just will pray for Don's body to survive these crazy tests. I don't quite know how to say this next part...it is just hard watching someone going through the pain and inconvience of all this testing...its hard to find a balance of being aware of some medical concerns...but not paranoid. Neither Don nor I want our lives to turn into a big medical saga....but if there are things that can be done to help him...we want to be open to that. Anyways, I am rambling....pray for guidance, strength for Don and patience for me. Thanks.
