WHOO HOO CARAMEL!! Congrats and welcome to bandland. Come on in the Water is fine. Well don't jump in yet your incisions haven't healed. But jump in when they have. LOL!!

TINK: Just an FYI, if you have specific questions why not start a whole separate thread so we don't hijack this one. But to answer your question about the RRT. You state that you have had pneumonia 3 - 4 times before. That can make you more susceptible to getting it again in the future. I have had it a couple of times myself. It isn't fun. The RRT is a precaution to prevent it from happening. The anesthesia slows everything down and after surgery it takes awhile for things to wake back up. So the RRT will help you exercise your lungs to keep things moving and not get stationary and so to prevent pneumonia from settling in.
