The surgeon was a magician. They put me in the lung capacity hall of fame. Most people that come through there (admittedly in bad shape) are about a maximum of 1500 ml. I could top the little measurement doohicky out at 4250 ml when I had a chest tube.
I came home yesterday and got on the stationary. 20 minutes, 49 watts average. It's a start.
The good news is I'm 7# below my previous 'race' weight, which I never hit last year.
It's hard to convey this more, but all is well in the world. Except maybe for umd.
