So Jacob,
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!

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

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 .

Get well soon for all of us,
Seth

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...

[KathieK]

There's gotta be a way we can duct tape the lungs to the chest cavity wall, right? I mean, duct tape cures everything!

If that doesn't work, we'll have to resort to welding. Beside, then Jacob would be FRC-legal. (Dark glasses on, everyone!)

Jacob, I hope you're getting a lift from our banter - and that you don't laugh to make it hurt.

or zipties/bar-locks

Hope you're feeling better.

[DonRotolo]

Naah, Duct Tape, Welding and Zip ties are all too invasive.

Pop Rivets.

(Actually, the staple idea sounds interesting, and it appears to work well...)

[EHaskins]

Happy birthday!

Hope you get better soon.

[Karibou]

Happy Birthday Jacob! You'd better get well soon, we need to get you healthy again

(I vote for duct tape if it was legal...I guess I've got to vote for welding now...)

Just replace those lungs with some Glad ForceFlex bags.

Update! Last night's status on Facebook says he is HOME! In time to celebrate a little of his birthday! Yay Jacob!

[cooker52]

That is awesome! The perfect gift for your birthday!

Now, let's hope he stays home for a while.
