Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Just a note to let you know that Jake is in the hospital, and I think it would be good for him to get emails of support from his his FIRST friends.
He was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday with a collapsed lung, and was stabilized with a chest tube. Yesterday he underwent surgery to correct the situation, and is doing fine. He will be in the hospital for awhile, though, as the surgery was extremely invasive. If you would like to send Jake a note of cheer, humor, etc., please email him at jacob.at.work@gmail.com. Thanks. Mrs. K - Jake's mom |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
That's terrible news. I hope Jake is on his way to recovery!

But seriously, on behalf of myself & the rest of Team 237, here's to a quick recovery & a short stay at the hospital! Get well soon! :] |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
You need that healthy lung power to have another great discussion at the Championship again!
I can't help but wonder if you have improved the hospital bed mechanisms yet...raise, lower, go fast...beep beep :ahh: - nah, you wouldn't do that. |

Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
I talked to Jacob recently, and the surgery went well. They removed the blebs off of his lung which is what caused this to happen. He is hanging in there, but he is in pain. Just remember to keep him in your thoughts.
|
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Hello Everyone!
Thank you all for your well wishes. They really meant a lot, and I will be responding to everyone who sent me an email shortly. I returned from the hospital on Thursday, and have been laying on the couch watching MTV, MTV2, MTVtr3s, MTVH, MTVJ, VH1, VH1classics, VH1soul, and VH1uno since. I find watching dumb people live their lives entertaining. (just kidding ;) ) Anyway, I was on anywhere up to 6 drugs at any one point while in the hospital, including morphine, and several other drugs listed at the bottom of this page. The doctor said that a pneumothorax is one of the only natural things that can happen to a guy that is more painful than child labor. Huh. This is my second pneumothorax, and it happened on December 4th as I was getting out of the shower, and about to brush my teeth. Last year I had one on December 6th (go figure), and I was riding in the car. A pneumothorax of the type that I had is spontaneous, and is most common in tall, skinny, teenage, white males (not limited to this group, but is most common in.) If you've ever met me, you know what I'm talking about. If anyone else has questions about it, like what it felt like, or what they did about it to prevent it from coming back, or if you're likely to have one, or more statistics, or whatever, just post, and I'll answer to the best of my ability. I learned a lot while in the hospital, but the drugs made me forget most of what I did there. Which reminds me..... Somebody thought it would be funny to give me a laptop while I was on pain meds. You may have noticed seemingly random posts in various threads about my opinion on something, but written really poorly. I sincerely apologize about that :p My uncle actually called me a day after my surgery and told me a phrase to remember, and told me he would pay me $150 if I could remember the phrase a week later. Sure enough, when he called me a week later, I could barely remember him telling me that, let alone the phrase. So I didn't get it. Ah well. I'm recovering well, with a vaseline gauze bandage seal where (one of the) holes going to my lung was. I'm taking it easy, just watching TV. I got excused from all of my university courses for the semester, and will be able to finish out the work next semester. I'll be returning to school in January (hopefully). Anyway, I ought to be getting to bed. Thanks for everyone's support, and I'll be happy to answer any questions. Sincerely, Jacob |

Great to hear you are home and doing better. Don't be surprised if you remember your uncles phrase at some point.

What's even crazier is that not only do I remember anything I said, but there were some people that even came to visit me that I don't remember being there at all. Some visitors I do remember (like my girlfriend), but others I don't (like my not-so-nice co-worker.) I wonder if the drugs gave me a selective memory? (I honestly don't remember him. It's not like I'm trying to block him out of my memory....) I still have a prescription for Percocet, which I occasionally use when I'm experiencing severe pain. That stuff totally mellows me out, I notice especially in my face. It feels like I have no face muscles, and my mind is somewhere else. When I'm on the Percocet, I try not to talk to anyone or write anything in fear of embarrassing myself :o. It's funny thought, because I did actually write some poetry while in the hospital under the heavy drugs, something I've never been able to do.

Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Its great to hear that you are doing OK , and that you should be up and around for build or at least comp season.
For anyone that wants to know a pneumothorax is a medical term for a collection or air or some other type of gas in the chest wall that forces the lung to collapse that is not caused by a trauma to the chest. A majority of pneumothoraxs occur when someone is at rest or doing something non labor intensive. When one occurs the person experiencing it, tell me if I am right or wrong Jacob, they would feel chest pain with shortness of breath/difficulty breathing and depending on the persons pain tolerance the pain could be very sharp stabbing or dull. They occur very suddenly. Symptoms for someone to watch out for if they see someone experiencing the chest pain/difficulty breathing, other then a possible heart attack/Angina, are a very rapid respiratory rate due to the body only having one lung and abnormal breathing such as someone leaning over holding their ribs and very little motion in the chest when breathing, or even one side moving and the other not. Here are the statistics from my Anatomy and Physiology class: "Spontaneous pneumothorax is seven times more likely to occur in males than females. Male smokers have 22 times the rate of spontaneous pneumothorax compared to nonsmoking males. Female smokers have a 9 times increase in the rate of a spontaneous pneumothorax compared to nonsmoking females . A spontaneous pneumothorax is most likely to occur during the fall or winter months" If you want to know some of the possible causes of spontaneous pneumothoraxs they are over something like 60% of the time caused by the rupture of this little tiny air or fluid sac in the lung called bleb or bullae, when they rupture the air is let out of the lung into the pleura space between the chest wall and the lung. Other causes of spontaneous pneumothorax are known lung disease's such was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. Also pneumonia, lung cancer asthma cystic fibrosis and tuberculosis. Once someone is taken to the hospital usually the ER first, the treatment can be anything as a wait and see approach because some small pneumothorax can clear up on their own and the excess air is just absorbed into the blood stream. Other times a chest tube is placed into the pluria place between the lung and outer chest where the air or fluid is trapped to release the pressure and re inflate the lung and most of the time the tube is then removed unless needed for drainage purposes and also there is a surgical procedure if needed. Pneumothorax occur mostly in tall skinny males between late teens to 40 years old and there are somewhere near 10,000 cases a year in the United States from the 2006 records from the American Lung Association in my text book If you have or ever have or had a pneumothorax sadly you can no go SCUBA diving due to the increased pressure on the chest wall, mountain climbing in high elevations or flying in unpressurized planes. Hope that helps answer questions, pneumothoraxs are something I get to see at work sometimes but very rarely are they spontaneous type, usually we see them due to trauma, car accident, stabbing or shooting and can also be from blast injuries. |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
As per request of some PMs, I am attaching a description of most of the entire experience. This was originally intended for my history teacher....
On the morning of December 4th (approximately an hour and fifty-six minutes before your class) I stepped out of the shower, and began to brush my teeth. I took a deep breath, and felt sudden, excruciating pain in my left chest. Having a pneumothorax before, I knew this pain all too well. Knowing that I had about three breaths left before the pain became unbearable, I held my breath and ran upstairs to quickly get changed and wake up my mother. I was in the car by the end of the three breaths, at which point the pain became unbearable, and I started to break down. Approximately twenty-seven minutes later, my mother's car pulled in front of the Emergency Room at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, where I literally ran inside, with no shoes or coat on. I was immediately checked into the emergency room, where my vitals were taken, and after approximately twenty minutes (after it was determined based on my history of having a pneumothorax that this again, was most likely a pneumothorax), I was put on oxygen, which was a great relief. While I still had very excruciating pain, I was still awake and in a stable mode. An X-Ray was taken of my chest, which showed that I did indeed have a pneumothorax. If you aren't familiar, a pneumothorax is when there becomes a hole in your lung, allowing air to escape into the cavity around it. When the air can't find it's way back into the lung (the hole is really tiny), it puts pressure on the lung, because the cavity is of a fixed size, and can't expand. After enough air has escaped into the cavity, enough pressure builds up against the lung, that it collapses. Looking at the X-Ray, it could clearly be seen that my left lung did not fill the entire cavity space, and that there was a significant amount of air above the lung. Fortunately, there wasn't so much air that my heart was in danger (as the lung and heart share the same cavity), as it was the last time I had a pneumothorax. After about another hour, I was brought into the OR to have a 'pigtail' chest tube installed through the front of my chest. I had the choice of being sedated, which I chose to do (last time, I didn't, and it was a very odd experience.) After the tube was installed, it was put to suction, to pull all of the air out of the cavity, and allow the lung to re-inflate. An X-Ray an hour later showed that my lung had come up significantly. Due to heavy pain medication, and the fact that my lung wasn't collapsed any more, I was in much less pain. The profile for someone to have a spontaneous pneumothorax is a tall, skinny, teenage, white male (kinda sounds like me.) Although this isn't always the case, a person with that profile is most susceptible to a spontaneous pneumothorax. There are two major 'causes' of a spontaneous pneumothorax, both of which are very unknown. The first 'cause' is that it 'just happens', and they don't really know why. The second 'cause' is that there are 'blebs' or blisters (kind of) on the surface of my lung, which pop, allowing air to escape. The reason these blebs are there, how they got there, and why they are usually only seen among people of my profile is completely unknown. The only way to tell if you have blebs on your lung or not (without going in surgically to look after the first pneumothorax,) is if you have another pneumothorax on the same side. This means that the cause wasn't the first, where there a no blebs present, but most likely the second, where blebs are present, and another popped. People who don't have surgery to remove the blebs have been known to have multiple pneumothorax', up to 4 or 5 times before they agree to have the surgery done. I decided to have it done right away, because I didn't want to risk having another pneumothorax (on the left side), and experience that pain again. The doctor told me that the pain of having a pneumothorax is one of the only natural pains that a male can experience that is greater than that of natural childbirth. After the pigtail was put in, I was checked into a room on the 6th floor. I stayed the night, and was woken early the next morning. I was brought down to the OR, where I was put to sleep yet again, when the surgery was performed. The surgery was done through three small incisions on my left side; One incision was for the video camera (so the surgeons could see what they were doing inside of me,) and the other two were for the surgeons to use their tools inside my chest cavity. If they were unable to remove the blebs using the camera, they would have had to go to an open surgery, which would have been much more painful. The surgery consisted of three major functions. The first was to remove the blebs on the top of my lung, therefore making a pneumothorax much less likely, and the second was to 'stick' the top of my lung to my chest cavity, making it so that if another hole did form, the air would not be able to escape, because my lung would be stuck to the side of my chest cavity. This process is done by irritating both surfaces, and sticking them together. The cavity wall was mechanically irritated, using a material similar to sandpaper, while my lung surface was chemically irritated, using something similar to an antibiotic (a mechanical irritation of my lung would not be good, as it could create another hole, and yet another problem.) The third purpose was to remove the original chest tube (which was relatively small, about a quarter inch in diameter) and put a much larger chest tube into my side (about the size of a penny looking at a cross-section.) I awoke from the surgery later that day, very soon wishing that I hadn't. The pain after the surgery was much worse than the pneumothorax itself, even with the six pain medications they were dumping into my bloodstream (including morphine, and another drug approximately nine times more powerful than morphine.) I was also on drugs to prevent my body from reacting to the other drugs. I was also on nausea medication, because I am known to have an upset stomach to heavy pain medications. They also gave me a button to hold in my hand, in which by pressing it, would dump even more than the steady stream of drugs into my blood system on a need-basis. For almost two days, I was holding the button down, and still in very very heavy pain. I was in the hospital for a total of eight days. By the last three days, I could walk around the floor, carrying my water-seal. Immediately after the surgery, the chest tube was hooked back to suction, allowing my lung to be expanded, and allowing the hole to heal. The idea is to allow the hole to heal for a few days with no risk of the lung collapsing, and then removing the suction to see if it is indeed actually healed. After four days after the surgery, the doctor removed the suction and hooked me to a device called a water-seal. The premise behind a water-seal is that the tube that goes into me is 'capped' with a column of water, not allowing air in or out of my lung cavity through the tube. It's as if the tube was removed, without actually removing it. The typical procedure is to take an X-Ray before you are put on water-seal, stay on water-seal for twenty-four hours, and then take another X-Ray to make sure the lung hasn't gone down (if I'm not already in excruciating pain after five minutes of being off of suction.) After the typical one day, my X-Ray was taken, and evaluated by a resident doctor. The resident doctor determined that my lung had gone down some, and that I should be hooked back up to suction. This was a great disappointment, because that would mean that I'd be in the hospital for at least an additional four days. Later that day, my actual doctor came into the hospital, looked at the X-Rays, and determined that the resident doctor made a mistake, and that my lung had actually not gone down. He opted to do the procedure of removing the chest tube the next day, and then waiting a day after the tube was out to send me home. The procedure was done, and everything looked good. I was sent home on Thursday the 13th, during that terrible storm. It took over two hours to get home. Finally I was home, safe and sound. I slept for a few days, and have been very groggy since. I have been writing this e-mail over the past few days, adding to it each day. I guess I intended it to be a brief summary, but it turned out to be a full blown story. Anyway, if you actually did read all of that, congratulations for not falling asleep in the middle : ) . Some of the writing isn't the best; It's amazing what pain medication can do to you. I am slowly recovering, doing a few more things each day. My days now typically consist of either laying in bed or on the couch, listening to calm music (although I can walk, and I'm improving my balance and coordination.... slowly.) Jacob |

Seriously though, I just had surgery on the 30th of November, and I was drugged up. I felt very relaxed, and they gave me a big prescription (since I'll be in pain for a long time) for Lortab.

Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Wow, I'm so sorry dude, I can't believe you've had the same thing happen 3 times. And I thought I was unlucky having two gallbladder attacks, the first happening on my 16th b-day/working at a band contest/my homecoming dance. It was scary, and unexpected. I had to have my gallbladder removed, and it wasn't much fun. I hope you feel better, and morphine is amazing(it really is awesome when you listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall while you're on it)!
Really, though, get better, and take it easy. I hope you get well quick! |

Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
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. |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
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 :)... Jane |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
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. Jacob Komar |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
I hope you feel better. I'm glad that it's not as bad. Good luck.

Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
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. |

If you need some help blowing out your birthday candles, I might know some people with a lot of hot air... :) Get better, birthday boy! Jane |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Jacob,
I sent an you an email, but not sure if you got it (got an incomprehensible reply from my email server) anyway, I too suffered from spontaneous pneumothorax's about 25 years ago. I had one on the right side, then after about a year, I went through three on the left side in a two week period. Apparently it is common among tall thin males under 30 years old. I'm sure you have also been told about Marfan's Syndrome. After the third in two weeks, they did surgery, placing staples across the top of the lung and scarring the inside of the chest cavity to "stick" the lung to the wall. Since then I have had no problems (a couple of false alarms, but no real problems). Anyway, hang in there, it does get better. Martin |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Happy Birthday Jacob!!
I hope you're at least feeling a lot better today. Maybe some gifts would do you some good. Hope you get well real soon, cause it's no fun being stuck in a hospital. All least you get to watch a lot of tv :D . Get well soon for all of us, Seth |
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
Happy birthday, Jacob! I know everyone here is pulling for you to get well soon! I swear, one of these days we're going to have to invent you some new lungs...
|
Re: Jacob Komar [whytheheckme] in Hospital
There's gotta be a way we can duct tape the lungs to the chest cavity wall, right? I mean, duct tape cures everything! :)

Happy birthday!
Hope you get better soon. |

Happy Birthday Jacob! You'd better get well soon, we need to get you healthy again :ahh:
(I vote for duct tape if it was legal...I guess I've got to vote for welding now...) |
