So Friday my primary wanted to have a chest CT done as I had commented about being short of breathe after the last surgery in April. They did chest x-rays afterwards and everything looked clear, they figured it was nerve damage from the general and that it'd clear up in a few weeks. It didn't and my lung capacity hasn't been would it ideally should be. CT report came back this morning and revealed significant pleural thickening throughout the right lung fissures and posterially, and in the mid and lower left lung posterially.

No idea what that means, but it doesn't sound good! I hope everything works out Capn.
