Summer's
Hospital Stay
I went to Urgent Care Saturday, October 9th.
I thought my back was acting up...NOPE!
My pain was coming from a collapsed lung.
I spent 19 days in the hospital.
Here are some pictures.
This is after my first blood patch since the surgery
did not take..
This is one of two..
It was not fun..
After my first chest tube failed, I had to have surgery. They removed 3% of my lung and well this time I got two chest tubes..
I also came out of surgery with a central line,
also known as an IV,
in my neck..
My Boyfriend Mike and I..
He is the BEST ever!!!
He stayed with me every night, slept in odd positions,
dealt with me getting my vitals taken every four hours..
All while working full time and going to school full time..
I LOVE YOU MIKE!!
This is me, looking sickly after a total of three chest tubes, surgery, and
two blood patches..
I am holding one of the tubes that came out of me..
On the right are both the tubes..
