You asked about the metabolism test I had done.
Well, Dahling, you breathe into a huge tube that goes into a gigantic computer-like machine that "reads" your metabolism. Apparently it feels like scuba diving equipment (although I've never done scuba).
As I recall, the whole procedure takes about 15 minutes. When you're done, you're so happy to be able to breathe real air. The computer spits out sheets that the doctor reads and tells you what your metabolism is doing.
