My health is very good now, much better than before my surgery.
I don’t cough all the time now. My surgeon has released me to the care of my pulmonary doctor. He is checking my pulmonary function every 4 months. I’m below average in pulmonary function, but given my medical history, that is to be expected. I take Spiriva inhaler once a day.
I am still working to recover my cardio-vascular endurance. I can’t run more than 1/10 of mile at a stretch, but I can walk/run 2 miles in 33 minutes!
I can also swim 500 yards in 23 minutes.
I can’t do pull ups on a chinning bar anymore. The latissimus dorsi muscle under my left arm was used to fill the empty space in my chest.
So I am getting back into shape slowly.
