Thanks For The Feedback!

That’s for all the feedback on my Lobectomy VATS surgery removing the upper right lobe. So much appreciate all the feedback, and can not believe so many folks have had this surgery.

The biggest thing from all the comments was I should 100% go buy a recliner. So that’s what I am going to do!!!! Any more suggestions?????

Ice packs, one of those tools for grabbing things out of reach, a pulse oximeter, and keep a stash of some healthy and not so healthy treats next to your chair. An organizer that holds the tv remote, your smartphone, charger, battery back up, and glasses (if you use them). They'll give you an incentive spirometer. Do use it as directed.

Sending wishes for the best possible outcome!

Neck pillow. I used one for sleeping sitting up, and it saved me from neck pain 😊

I did a binge watch one of my faviorate tv shows. 7 seasons of star treck ds9, please dont laugh at me, kind of a nerd with my tv shows. And I had the wedge pillow. All the best to you my friend.
