Oh that makes sense jbrd...sure hope the former is the story for both of us. I am a little nervous however because it has been a week and I still get a bit winded (w/oxygen) when I move around. NOT that I move around all that much with my bad knees. I know I should move more, but so uncomfortable. Will excercise improve the chance of lungs not being effected, I wonder? I realize that most peops on here are not med profs so I have to take everything with a grain of "salt".
