I wish you the best of luck, and I'm sure you have everyone's wishes for a quick recovery. You might not want to get home that quickly! At the least, you will need to rest a lot for the first week, at least. Just take it easy so that you can enjoy future holidays. Someone can bring you a turkey dinner if you can't get home!

Happy holidays and the best of luck!

Merry

Good Morning! A treadmill is great! You’ll just want to make sure someone is close by when you use it for the first time after surgery. Everything’s a little different afterward. If you’re used to being on the go, you have to learn to go slow. Walking is different because you’re breathing is different, after a lung surgery it seems like you have to relearn how to breath. Hopefully someone will be with you at home for at least a day or two? Well, I wish you all the Best! God Bless You!

Wow. 2 days seems very aggressive to me. Maybe they can bring you a plate?

The pacing item is likely when they are able to remove the chest tube. For me that was day 5 and that was either too early or they ripped a stitch in the removal. Because I gushed for 3 more days. So take that for what it’s worth.

Sending good Juju your way!!!

How wonderful to have a nurse in the family and I really hope that you are home for thanksgiving!!
