How deep can you breathe?

Maybe it's normal...but how deep can you breathe? My surgery was 7/21. I'm doing fine with liquids, protein, even exercise, but when I inhale really, really deeply, that last little bit is just a smidge painful...not double-over pain...more like "okay, that's far enough" pain. Normal?

Completely. I have no breathing problems at all and I swore that being on the ventilator during surgery gave me asthma. lol. 2 weeks out and im fine now. I couldnt sigh for a while but now, Im sighing as usual in my normal Drama Queen style.

Thank goodness! God forbid I lose the Drama Queen ability! Thanks for your note.

Exactly. Now practice... :::sucks teeth, deep sigh:::

I'm doing pretty good. If I consciously breathe in I do fine, if it's one of those 'sighs', sometimes it catches me off guard and hurts just a bit. Hugs, Nancy
