Jacob,
Is this the procedure where they burn the chest cavity and stick the lung to it to keep it inflated via scar tissue? I saw this on a medical training video a few years ago. It was used at that time to help with post surgical recovery, during lung cancer removal. It is a very cool use of body function to help repairs without foreign objects. Hope it works.

All -

Our friend, Jacob, is back in the hospital. He told me a little bit about it and I asked if I could post in the thread. He gave permission.

Please keep him in your thoughts. It is his left lung and my understanding is that it is a partial collapse. I hope he posts and explains it further.

All the best, Jacob. You have places to go, things to see :)...

Thanks Jane!

I was admitted this morning - I was waiting for school to start when I felt pain, so I called an ambulance.

It is only collapsed about 15%, so they are keeping me on oxygen overnight for observation. We are hoping that it will clear up by the morning, when they can send me home. The pain is very minimal now (compared to the much worse that I've felt.)

Thanks all, and I'll keep y'all updated.

I hope you feel better. I'm glad that it's not as bad. Good luck.

Hey Jacob, maybe you should keep a trackball with you at all times. Then when you feel the pain of your lung collapsing, you can quickly put the fill-tube into your mouth and use the trackball air to reinflate yourself. ;)

Then again, I'm not a doctor, I don't play one on TV, and I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn Express. :p

Hope you get well soon.

How many times have you been in the hospital? It seems like you just keep falling apart. Well, maybe this will be the last. Hoping you get better, Molten.
