Well here I am again. Just wanted to let you all know that I did put myself in pulmonary rehab, and I quit going after 4 weeks. I didn't gain anything from it, so what was the sense, and why waste the money. I am at where I will be forever and this is good, as I am able to take care of myself, get in my car and go where I want. I also did some canoeing this summer.
Life is good.
Without the LVRS I would not be here today and my Dr agreed with me last Thursday. He can't believe how well I am doing. For those of you who are thinking about having this done, don't do it without extensive rehab and go in with a positive attitude. This does not work for everyone, and we all have had different experiences and different recovery times. Mine was almost instant, home from hospital in 11 days, and oxygen free, and could breath normal again.
