Friday a week ago my lung collapsed again, this time forcing me to undergo a procedure known as a pleurodysia(sp?). This hurt more than you can possibly imagine. What they did was inject a solution of chalk and saline water between my ribs and my lung, thus forcing a gigantic sterile pneumonia all across the surface of my left lung. This created scar tissue across my lung, effectively thickening my lung wall about threefold.

Anyways, the morfine was soothing, the nurses were hot, and the food was disgusting. Hello kids!
