Had surgery 8/19/04

I survived the surgery, I was in the hospital for a week, but I had a lot and I do mean alot of pain and problems with my breathing (no I was not a smoker). If someone would have asked me yesterday I would have told them I should have never done it. Today I would say maybe (a little less pain). My doctor called me his problem child, as he did not expect me to be in such pain and he thinks maybe my breathing problems are because I live with a smoker (my husband). Well I just wanted to update, best wishes to all.

I had problems with breating and walking but it was because of the GP tube, once it was taken out I could breath and walk better with no pain

Hi Charlie...We are practically neighbors...I had my surgery in Point, Dr. Reising did it...Just wanted to say "HI"! Do you go to the group meetings? Lora
