fifth day in hospital 11am. wow, my longest hospital stay ever, and more to come. good news today, at least i hope it is. when the doctor checked my chest tube container today, there is no more bubbling, which means that my lung has HEALED. but the doctor has to be an epic spoil-sport and a dumb pessimist to say that there is a possibility that the tube is blocked either by clotted blood, fluids, or the tube is bent. freak. lah. no, my confidence will prevail. i believe that my lung has HEALED.
going to do 3 x-rays later on. one with chest tube on. one with chest tube clamped for 4 hours, meaning to deliberately block the chest tube to see whether my lung will collapse without the tube or not. if the 2 x-rays are successful. the chest tube will be removed and another x-ray will be done. if all 3 x-rays are good..
MARCUS HAS PREVAILED.
provided that this freaking pneumothorax doesnt come back again. choi, touch wood. appetite has improved tremendously. unlike the first 2-3 days, dont feel like eating anything at all.
i seriously hope my lung has healed. if not the chest tube will be continued and i will continue to emo again.
