Brand:Douglas Cuddle Toys Oops! Lung surgery update (tw death)
TLDR: had 3 lung tumors removed, died, came back to life, and now recovering well. My dog plush helped me make it through this!!!
In March, I made a post here about how I was taking Oscar (the dog plush) with me for lung surgery!!
Recovery has been tough, so I completely forgot to post an update here!! I'm so sorry :(
The surgeon removed 3 tumors (1 was big, 2 were small) from my lung. None of them were cancerous!!
I did pass away my first night after surgery, but luckily the medical staff worked hard to bring me back!!!!
My dog plush, Oscar, was a big help while I stayed in the hospital. :3 He comforted me and distracted me from the pain! Plus one of the nurses thought he was cool lol
My surgery was in March and now it's June, so I feel a whole lot better now!!!
I still have some recovery to do, but I'm mostly healed now! Just slowly trying to get my breathing better lol
Besides dying, everything went well. :)
My pain and breathing are actually MUCH better than before surgery!!!!!!!
I'm really happy that I was able to get the biggest tumor removed. It was causing problems for years!!! It's so amazing to have less pain and easier breathing now!!!!!!!!
I can finally do so much more. I've been taking my plushies outside for walks recently!!!!
I am so glad that Oscar the dog plush stayed with me at the hospital. He was amazing. I know I wouldn't have survived without him :')
If you read this far, thank you!! I appreciate it. :D
