Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Does anyone know WHY after anesthesia our lungs stop working??? I am so glad to be home and in my own bed but still having problems breathing. They want me to walk 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon but I cannot. I can't even get to my mail box! I can barely get to the kitchen and bathroom. I am alone here with my dogs though people do call in and ask me how I am. I'm plum worn out! I am drinking as much as I can and eating a bit but not really hungry. I just feel terrible. How often does this happen when people undergo the VATS? When my sister called in the nurse said I was critical but I had advanced pulmonary fibrosis...but how can that be???? Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
