Jane    :  Hello Kylie. Let me come and sit down with you. How are you today?

Kylie   :  Hi Jane. I’m okay. What’s that in your hand?

Kylie   :  Oh, what is it again? I’ve forgotten.

Jane    :  It’s to help get your lungs working well after the anesthetic. We want to make sure that you don’t get a chest infection.

Kylie   :  Oh, I get it.

Jane    :  Right, can you see the three blue balls?

Kylie   :  Yes, I can.

Jane    :  The light blue ball is the easiest to push up but the dark blue is quite hard. I want you to try to push up the three balls with your breath.

Kylie   : OK. I blow into the mouthpiece, do I?

Jane    :  Yes, I want you to take a normal breath and blow into the mouthpiece. I’ll show you.

Kylie   :  Okay. What do I do after that?

Kylie   :  Yeah, one, two, three, four, five.

Jane    :  Great.

Kylie   :  Yeah, but why do I have to do this?

Jane    :  It’s to improve your respiratory muscles and lung capacity – the amount of air that goes into and out of your lungs.

Kylie   :  Oh right. How often do I have to do it?

Jane    :  Well, take five to ten breaths at a time and try to use it every hour whilst you’re awake. Do you think you could do that?
