Hi everybody. Sorry I haven't said much lately, but I've been having problems that CS doesn't seem to help. I just got out of the hospital 2 weeks ago (did 6 days in there) due to a spontaneous pneumothorax (which is medical terms for a lung collapsing without any reason in particular. For those that are learned in the field, actual reason is blebs). I did have a chest tube in me for the time I was there, but I didn't opt for having the surgery where they go in and actually fix the problem (they basically cut, staple and glue your lung to the lung wall). To make a long story short, for the past couple of days I've had the same symptoms that I had before, and before going into a very scary situation (the whole hospital rigmarole) once again, I thought I would see if anybody here had any suggestions. I've done some lookups on the net, and almost everywhere says that surgery is the only real option. Does anybody know of any less evasive options for this? I'm gonna stick by the computer for a few more hours and hope for suggestions, then call and schedule an x-ray, which I think I already know the outcome of. If you don't here from me for a couple of weeks, you'll know the outcome as well ;)
