Ouch!
I should probably explain that it is not collapsed because of smoking...it was punctured with one or more broken rib fragments while it was full of fluid (pneumonia) when I got my chest crushed in an automobile accident.
(It opens up with an audible "pop" every once in a while and I get an oxygen high until it collapses again LOL...not today though, it just made me feel like I needed a new lung
)
I also have torn ligaments in my right foot...I didn't do too bad for a woman so out of shape (fifteen years out of a regular exercise routine)
and pushing forty!
P.S. I had a grandmother in that same boat...sneaking smokes at the window of her hospital room while she was hooked up to an oxygen tank with emphysema.
I am really hoping this class will give me incentive to quit...seeing what it has done to others just hasn't been convincing enough to make me not like to smoke...wanting to choke up a lung was a start.
