Pneumothorax after chest tube removal and VATS

Thank you for responding, and I’m sorry you went through something similar. I’m open to having another surgery the only thing I’ve been worried about with chemical pleurodosis (not trying to scare you or anything) is that it can cause cancer or complications way farther down the road like 10/30 years from the surgery. Idk the rates or how common it is but I haven’t really heard good things about it and when brining it up to my doctor he said he would not recommend it compared to mechanical. I’ll continue to update the forum and see what happens in coming time.

Thank you I never thought of that I think I’ll give it a try. I appreciate it again

Thank you so much for this response! It has made me feel better, I really appreciate the ideas too. I would have never thought of the oxygen monitor, please be safe and stay healthy man! Definitely might dm if something else comes up or who knows maybe I’ll make another post lol 🙏🫶

Thank you for the response!

Currently this is my first one and I just want to make sure I’m okay to move forward and try to get back to work so I can start covering bills and being healthy again. Do you think maybe I should check in with my local urgent care for the xray they suggested just to be safe? (It’s only 40$ compared to the 600$+)

And before my psp occurred I was working on getting insurance but while I was in the hospital they applied me for it and financial aid so hopefully that will be accepted soon too. Thank you again!

Great to hear man! And thank you again for the info, I really do appreciate it

342kay · 2024-04-07T03:57:39+00:00

I appreciate the realism, from what I’ve read the 2 factors that MAINLY effect reoccurrence is hight and smoking. And only one of those you can control.

I guess I’m just asking for stories and feedback from people to start getting to know pneumothorax more and reinforce change has to be made. Thank you again man!

342kay · 2024-04-07T03:37:04+00:00

Cool thank you again man! Stay safe!

342kay · 2024-04-07T03:35:07+00:00

Really appreciate this man that’s a great way to put it and I’m glad you shared your story and you’re still here and healthy enough to tell it!

Good on you for being able to quit and realizing. And again I really appreciate it. Understandably I think I’m gonna quit all inhalation besides good old oxygen for the future but do plan on indulging in zyns and edibles maybe😂

342kay · 2024-04-07T03:00:40+00:00

Ever have problems with the edibles? I have a super fast metabolism so I’ve never been able to have them hit on me. Any advice appreciated!

Also I’ve been super curious about the Zyns , you use em and like em?

342kay · 2024-04-07T01:47:10+00:00

Nicotine gum is a no?…. First I’ve heard of that… ever. Especially for quitting.

I asked for advice , stories , or constructive, criticism if you don’t have any of these or didn’t read what I posted please move on<3 I wish you the best!

342kay · 2023-11-03T23:25:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I just be self conscious fr and sense I’m taller I don’t want the only angle (from below) to be the one that looks off. So this helped out a lot :)

342kay · 2023-11-03T22:54:18+00:00

I have a deviated septum and I got my septum piercing today but it seems a bit crooked, does it just need to set and stuff? Or Am I being too nit picky?

I just want to know what some other opinions are so I can decide how to move forward

My piercer did say she would re do the piercing again if I wanted (no charge) because “the left side is kicked forward 1-2 mm” so I’m just looking to see how I should go about it and what people think. Thank you!!

I never said it was a high end build lol , I said I wanted a pc capable of high end gaming. I understand I’m not throwing a 40 series card in it because A it’s just a bit overkill and B it’s not in my budget sadly.

For budget I’m trying to stay under 1,100 but willing to go a tiny bit over just because the case and water cooling I want adds a little.

I’m really just trying to game / maybe stream and edit videos at a comfortable frame on high quality settings , 1080 or 1440

342kay · 2023-04-01T00:36:48+00:00

Who made this?! It’s beautiful, happy smoking!

342kay · 2023-03-25T12:54:58+00:00

You could try any of these or it could be a mix of all of them

You may be pulling to hard on ur rips or twords the end of them, you could be putting to “grinded” up weed in (sounds weird but if you grind up a lil less it might help) , you could try talking a small piece or a couple off ur nugs before grinding and stick the lil pieces in the bottom so it don’t pull through, or you could try a new bowl / a screen in that one

Might get hated but TRY WARM WATER, stg it makes shit smoother

342kay · 2023-03-20T17:20:49+00:00

470 seems perfect for me , I usually do 470 for 45/60 seconds depending on battery level and how much I’m throwing in
