Just also realize that all of us are different and you may have a different recovery period or pains. You may even feel down a little afterward. That is most of the time when your weaning off the medications, but I think it’s also just because the realization sets in of what was in our body and then thinking “what’s next?” But don’t stay in that too long! You have to remain positive and eat healthy and move around as much as possible.

I would have to agree with walk all you can. I had my two lower lobes of my right lung removed. I was about dead when I went to Dr. They made a 6 to 8 incision on my back, and of course smaller ones for chest tubes. So I was in the hospital about one month. But I left with no narcotics. Worked hard at Getting better. Doing good now. WALK
