So, I have followed a few posts on here and recall DanaM's about quitting smoking. I have realized in the last couple of days why that is not a bad idea... I'm 35 years old and woke up with a collapsed lung. I am on day number 2 in the hospital with a thoracic ventilation tube in my chest......suffice to say, that was what made me decide to quit....and whether or not I wanted to before, I damn sure do now......just wish I had earlier  :(

HatchA:
Damn, man...  That's severe!

I'm 35 also but have never smoked.  Still gave me twinges in my chest when I read you woke up with a collapsed lung  :-\  in fact, I actually just shivered as I typed that.

Sending positive thoughts and best wishes from Ireland, for a good recovery and successful quitting!!

Steve.

vtclimber:
Thanks Steve, Glad the hospital has internet! Tel ya what...I don't EVER want to experience that again!!

El Destructo:
Had one myself...had nothing to do with Smoking though....had all to do with hitting my Chest....Leg and Hip on a 3 inch Sign Post at 60 on a Scooter...when I was sideswiped in 1993...only one thing worse than a Collapsed Lung...and not being able to draw a Breath...thats trying to stand on a Leg and Hip that folds up like an Accordion when you try to put your weight on it..... >:(.....good luck and get well...I know your Pain........

Josh:
Dang man, sorry to hear about your lung.  I will be praying for your speedy recovery.  Glad to hear you are quitting smoking.. Best thing I ever did.  It's hard but well worth it in the end.   Get well soon!   :)
