Loss of voice after lung surgery

Hi @vic83, if I did the calculations correctly, it's been 2 weeks since your video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. How is your voice? How is recovery going?

Hi Colleen. Thanks for asking. Yes, my voice started to come back after 4 days. World beware! It is just a little bit raspy now.
My first VAT surgery was easy, this one is not. I have a variety of pains including nerve pain so have started Gabapentin. Today is the first day I could drive (13 days from surgery). Trying to get out there and walk - walking, the number one cure for all diseases.
