Put your mouth on this and suck.
Exhale. Put your mouth on this, and inhale for as long as you can.
It is an incentive spirometer.
Don't blow, suck.
When the little ball rises to the top, hold it. Good.

I had one of these following a surgery after I fractured T-12. One of my nurses was a firecracker and had me sucking on the spirometer twice an hour (if I remember right). The whole thing is a bit cloudy from all of the drugs I was on, but I do remember wanting her so, so bad.
Excellent thread by the way, this lurker has subscribed!
