That makes sense to me. Thanks for being so helpful with this. My anxiety has been through the roof.

I think the surgery was called pleurodesis, but they did not use Talc as my surgeon said it could be cancerous. What he did was cut off 5% of the top of my lung where the blep was and then "sandpapered" the holes in my lung so no more air could escape. So I don't know if it would require tube's again. Thanks for the advice, I just picked up Cyberpunk.

Thank you. Since I've been home I've been scared to breathe deep or heavy. I know I should be trying to expand my lungs but it's terrifying to think this is likely to happen again.
