I quit smoking 2.5 weeks ago after smoking for 18 years. I was smoking about a half a pack a day. I quit smoking for 2 reasons; 1.) It's a gross habit and 2.) Because I am having major abdominal surgery June 17th.
Here's my question:
I read somewhere that breathing exercises are really good for the lungs pre-op. What kind? My husband brought a bag of balloons home tonight and told me that blowing up balloons is a good exercise. Is this true? Any other recommendations out there?
BTW; blowing up balloons is HARDER than I thought, LOL!!
Hmph! My husband just hid the Electric Inflator, how insulting!
