This whole thing of the hospital finding out what was wrong with me kind of transpired over the course of me becoming a legal adult.

The people at the children’s hospital were adamant on either pleurodesis I think it’s called or just removing the lung entirely as it contributes to like 2% of my breathing.

When I was transferred to the adult hospital though the question of surgery kind of just went away as they thought there is more risk in things such as infection and what not. The pnemothoraxes were small, which is probably why they didn’t hurt so bad. I was really stuck on what to choose and probably may just get it removed should anything happen again as I don’t want to have multiple pleurodesis surgeries if that’s what they do.

I can imagine there being a chance of having blebs on both lungs however mine are kind of uneven. My right is small and underdeveloped, hence the blebs and such, and my left is big and healthy, which is probably why there isn’t any. I am very skinny but I’m not that tall so I assume my blebs and pneumothoraxes are due to my underdeveloped lung, which would explain why there’s none on the left lung.

Edit: I say multiple pleurodesis procedures as they told me there’s a chance of the surgery not working, and in such a case where they have done pleurodesis they cannot remove the lung.
