Sorry havent been around, been having bit of a bad time of it lately. Think i managed to slip away without getting missed lol.
Has anyone had operations on their lungs? Was told by my doctor to be prepared to be told that i may need an op, not sure what that will entail. My copd has got worse now as i my last chest xray wasnt clear and to top it off, i have got this viral infection that everyone seems to have and i havent felt this bad since i had pneumonia a few years ago.
Hope everyone has been keeping as well as possible since i last spoke to you all.

Thank you. Been on and off antibiotics and steroids, helping the kids, seeing to my mum's things. The chest xray is showing more signs of emphasema now, hopefully wont be long before i see a specialist x
I had an operation on my right lung 5 weeks ago so am still in the recovery period of 8 - 12 weeks, I have written a few blogs on the operation and my recovery if you want to check them out as there is quite a lot of info. Have you had a CT scan yet?
Hi Perce, no i havent had a CT scan yet, still waiting to see specialist, it was just what the doctor warned me that i may have to have. I will have to take a look at your blogs if i can find them as i have been wondering what to expect if i need one. My right lung seems to be my weakest, thats where the infections seem to take hold. This last xray is the first one that hasnt been clear. How long were you in hospital for?
