Ill definitely think twice the next time I start to break on those longer rides.
Haha! The human body is an amazing thing. The lung that's left expands to take up the capacity of the one that's gone. The weirdest part is that my heart got pushed to the right side of my chest (the right lung was the one removed) and so it's now on the opposite side where it's supposed to be.
