    Very good article, drz. I have a number of these signs and symptoms but no COPD. I think my lungs have just taken a beating!

    ok, so its not just me, but this is helpful. rightnow I have my chest tube in and I have and air leek My surgeon didnt want to take it out, says with the pred healing rate is to be considered. I started having problems, blew my stitches and have a college orientation to go to this week so as a compromised he agreed to try and kink the line. If my lung stays up 4 the x-ray in the morning i'm good to have it taken out but now I have air coming out of my side when I cough. It has been so long I don't know what its like to not have shortness of breath and I can't tell how I'm doing.

    Hope things go well for you. Recovering from surgery can be tricky under the best of circumstances. but your youth should be a great asset in your recovery.

    You are in a tough spot Rini. I can tell by your words you are worried and frustrated. We are all here to listen and offer support. You will get through this and it will get better. What you went through takes a long time to heal.
