The Hospital Stay

The next few days were pretty boring, so I won't go into as much detail :-)

Thursday
Chest x-ray
back to 95%


Friday
Finally let me sleep
Still bubbling, not going home today
Still bubbling a lot
First attempt at a shower

Saturday
Low heart rate alarm. I forget to tell them I'm an athlete.
Clamped the line to see if my lungs were pressurized.
CT showed no other issues in my lungs.
Chest X-Ray showed 20% deflation
Trying again tomorrow
Changing the dressing hurt like hell.

Sunday
Water seal
 Chest X-Ray showed I was good
 Valve installed.
Going Home!!
