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.

You've come through amazingly so far. No reason to quit now, man.
Doctors are only licensed to practice. But, practice makes perfect! So, one more time and you'll lick this!
Stay strong, you have come too far to give up now. We all know you can kick this Cap'n!
They will figure it out, not been spending to much time around Asbestos right? Could also be Haemothorax from the drugs. you will kick its ass.
Not a medical opinion I just slept at a holiday in last night.
Keep at it, you got this man.
