I am due to have left lower lobe removed on Friday. I don't understand why I do not feel ill. Yet on waking from the op i am going to feel pain and shortness of breath. I am asthmatic and have always put my shortness of breath down to that. It should have been picked uo in 2015 on a chest ct. It was there then. Even this time it was an incidental finding. I feel let down. Why? I am the sole 24/7 carer for my hubby. Whilst I have cared for him for lot longer than that. In 2015 he was walking. He is not now. He has to be hoisted and pushed from room to room. I will not be able to do this.
