Hi Everyone, Some names look familiar to me from another website that seems to have fallen offline. My name is Cathy and I reside in Maryland. I had LVRS on both lungs in August 2006 and was keeping a journal on the other website. I went to add an update to it only to find it disappeared. It's been a year and I wanted to let everyone know that I'm feeling great and I'm glad I had the surgery. It definitely wasn't easy and it took a good 6 months to feel almost normal but I'm very happy with the results a year later. I'm glad I found this website and if I can help anyone with questions or any advice feel free to ask.
Take care, Cathy in Maryland

I REMEMBER you Cathy in Maryland! What absolutely wonderful NEWS!!!
How much of your lung(s) did they remove? How did you FEEL right after the surgery? What was your FEV1 PRE; any idea now POST?
How long before you could; well heck even the smallest things?
Dang it's good to hear from you!!!
Please; if you see this and you're up to the challenge, tell us ALL about it in the COPD section. From start to finish. I know there's folks here that are active and many others who just read, that may be looking at this. What you can share; whenever you want; would be wonderful!!!
Congratulations!!! WTG girl!
(P.S. If you've not found you old friends; let me know and I'll give you the url.)
Blossom

Hi Cathy I conversed with you on the other site. My name is Cheryl. I had a couple wedges removed from my lungs. I remember asking you about your ribs. If I remember correctly, you felt like you had a band going round them. I've often wondered how you were. Welcome Welcome.

Welcome Cathy. I too remember you. All your posts are gone as the whole site went down. It really was a shame. You had provided so much good input. It was re-started with many of the same members but new Administrator. Some of us frequent both.
Welcome to the COPD in Canada and glad you found this site. Hope you have been doing okay.
