What are they calling pneumonia? I've been coughing since surgery (Tuesday) and it won't stop, is that normal?

I'm thinking of u and hope everything turns out ok and a speedy recovery

Plead keep us updated !!!! I am praying for you with all my heart

No leak!!! Blood clot I left arm and mild pnemonia in left lung. The pnemonia symptoms if I laid in my back it hurt to breathe. If I inhale deeply I cough.

Glad there is no leak and you are in my prayers for a speedy recovery. I have a question though.. it seems a lot of folks get pneumonia (or since I've joined it seems that way) or a clot. Is this really that common for this kind of surgery?

I think it is that's why they make you blow into that stupid machine. I should have done it more.

That is why they have you use the machine to breathe into. I hated the dumb thing, but did it anyway until 2 weeks post op. I'm sorry you feel so bad! I hope everything is resolves quickly!

I also had breathing treatments every 6 hours for the 3 days that I was in the hospital. Anyone else have those? And the silly, but very useful, breathing spinny thingy.
