Has anyone here ever had a hole in their lung?
I hear its common enough, but in no way a minor case if not taken care of right away. A few years ago I got one. Apparently if a person was growing fast (back in their growing days) their lung might stretch too fast and have thin spots (weak spots) on it. Well, I was out of shape and had the super duper idea to try and play some hardcore soccer and start playing the trumpet again.
Note to self: these things are not easy on the lungs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
So, one day I was walking up the stairs and BAM! A good hour of excrutiating fun (errrm, pain... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) and then pleanty more of lesser 'fun' afterwards. It was at night, so I thought I should wait until morning to go to the hospital; maybe it was nothing, durrr. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
BE YE WARNED, THE FOLLOWING BE A TAD... DESCRIPTIVE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
Well turned out that it was the hole in my lung. It was a little less than 50% deflated wich was the warning level, but the doctor had high hopes, and said that I should come back later in the day because it might heal itself... unless of course I wanted him to put a tube in my back and in my lung to help me breath; because he would do me that favour.
I dicided to wait. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
Wanna know something gross? Later that night I first felt the pang, I had to walk back down the stairs to get to my bed. As I did, I could hear a liquidy bubbling noise comming from my chest (the lung area, needless to say). I thought I had pneumonia. But nono, just a hole in the lung. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> That was the sound of the air bubbling out of my lung and into the deflated space above it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
It eventually healed up, but I had to take it easy for a while even after it was done.
Now, why this odd story, you say? Well, I'm nervous... you see today, a couple hours ago in fact, my right lung area started hurting... constantly. Nothing like the big boom of the break back then (b..b..b..b.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) but (another b! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xmassmiley.gif" alt="" /> ) still not so fun. In fact, every deep breath and bodily movement kicks it into action. I suspect another one might be comming along. But I can't go to an 'H' for a while because I am 'engaged' in important schedualed activities that cannot be reschedualed so I'll just take it easy to try and put off any inconveniances.
Well, that was putting it lightly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Alright, just wanted to type a bunch of stuff. Besides, my last unpleasant experiance got such nice reviews. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
