As some of you may know, I got bronchitis this summer, and I started coughing a lot, and pretty bad. Where I got a lot better since, the cough is still there, and is really annoying. I went to the doctor again today, and they wanted to test to see if the bronchitis flared up my asthma. So I had a 30 minute bike ride to the doctor’s office (like I said, I live 30 minutes from anywhere) and I was running a little late so I had to bike quickly. When I got there they wanted me test my breathing after I have been exhausted, so I was asked to run up and down the stairs until I could no longer breath. The doctor’s office was in a 3 story building with 38 stairs making 6 turns. It took 30 seconds to go up and down. I know this because I ran up and down for 15 minutes. It was a very strange experience, since it was a pretty busy building, and I kept passing people who just looked at me funny. It would have been bad enough if I could explain why I was constantly running up and down, but seeing as I don’t yet speak Danish I just smiled and shrugged. but as it turns out, my legs are weaker than my lungs, and they started to give out, but the purpose was to get my lungs tired so I had to keep going. By the end I could barely lift my legs, trying to to wobble into the old lady, and continuing to cough my lungs out, but I could still breath fine enough.
I finally gave up, and went back in to get tested. Then I had the pleasure of biking home to go work a 10 hour shift
