HI penguin! its cool 2 hear someone else my age is on, i love to talk so questions r totally welcome. This sight is kinda tricky @ first to navigate but I like being able to hear from everyone. Orientation is when I went to my college and got walked around and set up with classes and ID and sat through some meetings. I got to meet some other freshmen and get taken around campus. what grade r u in?

[penguin]

Yeahh same! Ooh okay, what do u mean by grade? where are u from, America?

[Rini]

Yes I am in the U.S how bout you? I was asking about how you did school but Idk how to say it if u r not in America...maybe what level are you? hear we do kindergarten for like when you are 6 years old and then you go through grades up to 12 and then go to a college.

Tomorrow I go to the hospital for overnight observations. Plan is to clamp off tube & do x-rays when I can't breath. if I'm good the tube comes out, if I get a flat lung then I have an operation that involves powder to make my lung sticky and then I get the tube out...maybe a few days latter. I GET the tube OUT!!!

This sounds like good news Rini. I hope you can get the tube out soon.

I hope they don't have to do the surgery and your lung plays nice.
