Well, my husband had the bronchoscopy this week.  It was fine.

That means the diagnosis of Trapped Lung from his bypass surgery is
confirmed.  It only took 6 months, 5 chest x-rays, 2 CT scans, a
Thoracentesis, a bronchoscopy, a stress test, an echocardiogram and 10
doctor visits.

What blows my mind is the fact that the bypass was 4 years ago.  Since
then he's had a minimum of 7 visits to our PCP and 7 visits to his
cardiologist.  Nobody heard the fluid.

It give me new found respect for our current, and new, PCP.

Luckily my husband has no problems with his breathing.  He never even
knew there was a problem except for the fact that he's been more tired
than usual since the bypass.  Doctors told him it was his meds.
Partially true I'm sure, but if anything he took fewer meds after the
bypass.  Also before the surgery he was told he'd feel like a "new
man".  Well that new man is exhausted all the time.

Anyway - we are incredibly relieved.  The surgeon advised against
surgery to repair the Trapped Lung unless symptoms affect his quality
of life.
