    I had my bilateral lungs transplant successfully done on 25th October 2022. I am in recovery phase with a tracheastomy tube still on my neck. I am now 50 days post transplant with no oxygen requirement anymore,  but still not able to walk a few meters independently or without getting exhausted. I am 58 and not sure if recovery is usually this long. How was the recovery phase  for other members   ?

    As per the doctors, the tracheastomy tube is preventing aspiration and also providing an easy way to remove airways secretion as my coughing power is not enough to take out the phelgm which may cause infection if left inside. The tube will be removed in a few days and afterwards I have to cough out any secretions building inside the airways.
