lung surgery recovery
Hi- I'm from the east coast and shortly after my surgery 2 years ago we had horrible heat and humidity and pollution from another state drifting in. I felt the same way as your Dad. I was put on an inhaler and boy did that help. Normally he should be walking everyday and increasing the length of time. However that needs to be determined by his dr. The best of luck.!!! I've had lung cancer 2 times, 14 years ago in my right lung(entire lower lobe removed). Two years ago I had upper lobe and linguala removed plus the pulmonary artery reconstructed.

I also lost the UR lobe
I second the recommendation to call the doctor, ASAP. But tell your dad not to get too discouraged. This is major surgery and a week is not very long to recover. If he is older it will be even more difficult. He might need to hear this from the doctor so do call immediately. Good luck, I know this is a tough recovery.0 -

I was just out walking the dog and thinking of your dad and I began to wonder--is he getting enough pain medication? I always felt more winded and had a harder time walking when I was in pain. I had a heck of a time getting my pain under control but it can be done. Good luck once again.0
