That last 1% seems to take a long time

Riding to and back from the station on my bike (5 min) is the current measure of my recovery and the last 1% of lung health seems to be taking quite a while.

The first trip to the station a couple of weeks ago was a very slow and steady affair, however I was almost throwing up when I got to the station, even though I rode at the same intensity as a medium walk. Riding back home I even had to stop as the coughing took my breath away.

The following week was a bit better, still with the steady slow pace and trying not to breath any different to walking intensity.

This week seems to be almost there with the last 1% just enough to create a noticable difference in breathing and feel to the lungs, even though I can now pick the pace up without throwing up I'm still taking it steady. I want to be back on the bike for good, not just one sunny day.
