I was finally convinced that seeing a doctor
for the chest pain I was having was a good idea.
Only took 2 days ... but in my defense, I swore it was
just a pulled muscle. Turns out that I was one of the
few people to experience a spontaneous pneumothorax.
That didn't make the chest tube any less painful ...
More pictures of the healing process as it develops!

My chest xray ... the right is my left lung. Notice the spidery white lines that indicate air filled areas of the lung. Notice the lack of those on the left side which equated to my right lung. Its very black, which is very bad. |
About a week and a half out. Stitches out, but sterile strips still there waiting to fall off at some point. Area around still irritated from the tape on my skin. Still a little brusing too. |
