I think the second time will be easier for you. Every subsequent time has been easier for me.Anders wrote:So i will be leaving for coswig in Germany on Sunday morning. This time im taking the train... 800km in a car, just isnt worht it hehe
Ill be back on forum with an update from the hospital, when i am off the tubes... Probably sometime after next weekend.
take care
. Seems low compared to the 197W i did before surgery, but you cant really compare those numbers. As things are right now, i had half the stiches removed, and will have rest removed thursday, i will probably be leaving for denmark the comming weekend. So basicly i did pretty much as i did last time... No surprises, and thats always nice.Sounds like you are progressing along nicely. That's fine for the bike - I am sure you will work your way upwards of 100W easily before you leave. I am happy to hear that you are not suffering too much from the pain.Anders wrote:Hello from Coswig!
I had 23 mets removed from my leftlung last wednesday. Scans where showing 20, they have an awsome CT scanner here. We are talking 1-2 mm here.
Again, like last time, i didnt get the epidural spine thingy for the pain, instead i got a surgerally inserted little tube... worked verry well
Pain was handled very well, and i was blowing 3+ L before i left intensive care last saturday. I was totally unplugged before leaving intensive care too. I spend sunday watching soccer maches and relaxing in my room... weekends here are really borring. Im very lucky to be here with another guy from denmark, with whom was was also here last time.
Monday i startet the workout, and got alot of fresh air... Shortness of breath is easing up alot, and today i went for a ride on the training bike... really pushing it at 60w for 10m
Sorry i didnt write earlier... i had real problems logging in for some reason

Say hello to Dr. Rolle for me.
Volume wise, or VO2MAX? The true test would have been if you did the bike before the surgery and see what kind of watts you could get. I think if you got ~200W before you would have gotten maybe ~160-180W because it takes 1 year to truly heal completely. Then again, your surgery was much less than mine so hopefully it's quicker for you.Anders wrote:Forgot to mention... according tot he test done on lungs here in coswig, my capasity was back on 96% on one test and 100% in another... compared to before first surgery... not bad.
Dont think i would make 180W now... probably more like 120 or something... Gonna continue training on my bike at home for about 4 weeks, and then i will start jogging... cant wait!Ivan wrote:Volume wise, or VO2MAX?

Of course not now, I meant just before the second surgery.Anders wrote:Dont think i would make 180W now... probably more like 120 or something... Gonna continue training on my bike at home for about 4 weeks, and then i will start jogging... cant wait!
Its volume only... Just did the test again, because im going home tomorrow, and now the volume is 58%... so 3.3L... as 100% would be 5.8L. Funny, cus i can get to 4L with the little training thingy you get before surgery to train with.
Got the last stiches out yesterday, and wound is looking good. Tomorrow its home by train
By the way... Rolle said hi back to you and Olga
The time i spent on intensive care, seemed easyer this time... could be because i was there with another dane... last time i was solo alone in the room. Overall i feel it was a bit easyer this time, but my first time was easy too... was there 9 days after surgery last and 10 this time.Ivan wrote:Of course not now, I meant just before the second surgery.Anders wrote:Dont think i would make 180W now... probably more like 120 or something...

The breathing device is far from accurate. I've used about 3 different ones and you get different volume on each of them, depending on how fast you breathe in, etc. You can only compare it to itself at the same inhalation speed.
I am happy it went very well for you. Did you find the second surgery to be the same, easier, or more difficult than the first?
