    Had a CXR this morning and then tube was clamped right away, then another CXR about 4 hours later. Both show the lung is almost to the top. Doc says if it stay there til tomorrow with the tube clamped I can probably be released tomorrow. I will try to arrange for O2 for the trip home and home O2 when I get home. My sats drop to the 70s even with O2 when I cough bad so I definitely want to try long term O2 therapy at home to see if that helps the lungs with the bronchiectasis after 3 months or more. Only time will tell I guess. I am a bit worried going back home and the possibility of the lung collapsing again. I even asked my lung doc about a collapsed lung when I saw him last week........lol. I can't fly anymore or do scuba diving. I know if this happens again I would prefer to be back here ASAP instead of Regina. Will just have to see how I feel tomorrow. The physio nurse was upset that I hadn't gone for a walk yet today. I said: I'll go when I feel like it. She said I should have gone for at least one walk in the morning. She was also giving me the gears because I was not doing my breathing exercises and would not do them while she clapped on my back. Oh well, some people just don't understand I guess. I will be curious to see what my therapist has to say about all this. I will give her a call next week. Hopefully I can see her again the week of August 18th as well as my lung doc.

    I will be in here a few more days for sure. Rough day today educating nurses and therapists. Some people just should not work with the public.

    Man somehow I missed all these updates. Saying some prayers for recovery for you Phil. Having had a nearly collapsed lung I can say that Phil's clearly being really brave here.

    I hope the many wishes he gets for better health come true. Having supportive encouragement from all around the world should help.
    Phil, best wishes for better health soon.

    Like Bob, I seem to have missed all of these updates. I'm sorry you have to spend your energy educating those that are supposed to be taking care of you. You're in my prayers.
