( Place in Epliogue after "you're probably right" paragraph..)
Dr. Mona asked how was my breathing. I know this concerned all my doctors. Since I have limited lung capacity due to my short stature, OI and scoliosis, they worried about conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis and different kinds of infections potentially being fatal.
>It depends," I said. "Sometimes good, sometimes not."
She suggested buying a breathing device that would keep my lungs clear. She also recommended singing, which apparently is good for the lungs as well.
"Cool," I replied. "Maybe I'll try out for 'American Idol,'" I kidded.
She warned that because of the progressing scoliosis, my breathing may be affected as my body changes. I was afraid of that as I know how sometimes it really is harder to breathe on days my back hurts more.
