    I'm glad you are well enough after the surgery to write such a comprehensive and complete report. Not so happy about the final outcome for your lungs, or the coming pain during recovery. But I'm glad that you have the one good lung and that they have worked it so you'll have 70% capacity instead of 46%. You still have some quality of life ahead of you.

    Glad to hear good news. Hope the post-op pain isn't too bad.

    Thanks for the update vdub

    I'm glad everything went well, well as well as they could get it.
    I will send you so many healing thoughts and prayers that you wont know what to do with them all. Hopefully this will keep all of the pains to a minimum.

    Have as much ice cream as you need and I hope you can get back on to the MTX very soon, to avoid any other issues.

    Take care, and be nice to the nurses

    The nurses make or break a place. That career field seems to attract the best-of-the-best.

    Was the nerves damage from Wegs?

    I have had about 60-65% lung function after partial recovery from my initial attack of Wegs. The first year was about half of that and i used to wheeze a lot from any exertion but you should feel a lot better soon. I found some rehab help me learn to be more efficient too in my lungs and heart so I don't feel as winded as often.

    So glad to here you are on the upside of recovery from a very complicated surgery. I'm sorry that there was no repair for your Rt lung, but it is good to get 70% out of the Left one. I am only at 62% out of the both, with Wegs and COPD. It's ok not to run any marathons and it sounds like you will feel much better than before. I hope you don't have to go thru to much pain. Take care of yourself and thanks for letting us know about how you are doing.
