Did I really RUN?!

Originally posted by Fljotsdale: Um. Moni? Can't that lung be fixed? What reason is there for it to be permanently collapsed? My ex-husband had one of his collapsed on purpose for an operation, but after he healed it re-inflated with no problems, and he had had extensive lung surgery, plus the removal of parts of 3 ribs and the cutting of a major nerve. Is your lung too badly damaged, or is it the muscle tissue? Or what? Sorry to be so nosey!

In all honesty Fljotsdale, I don't really know. I had a nearly impossible time getting any medical attention at the time the accident occured because I did not have Health Insurance and by the time I got any Dr. to see me, it was nearly a year later. I was more concerned then with getting my right kidney returned back to its proper place, thinking the lung would either heal and reopen or just remain collapsed most of the time.
I never have had the lung looked at or investigated for any further damage than was discovered initially...that it was punctured and the fluid level in it was the only thing that kept it from filling with blood (I did cough up blood clots for weeks though).
I am not overly concerned with it now since as long as I can breath out of the other one, I know I can survive. I know people with only one lung and even my younger brother is missing half of one of his due to cancer since he was 6 years old.


Moridin, LOL...you are the one who makes smokers proud! 8 miles, sheesh! Its a good thing you do smoke or you might fly!

LoA,
Like hell I will! I doubt if I'll ever run unless it is life or death (or unless I have to in P.E.) LOL and P.E will only last through this school year...after that, I'll stick to the exercise, aerobics and weight training but run? Nah...I can walk ten or more miles with ease, no need to run when you can take your time.

My legs (on the whole) are not the least bit sore today either...a little cramping in my calves and my right ankle is complaining a little but all in all, I came through it in a lot better shape than I had initially anticipated.

I am in pretty good shape for fifteen years of sedentary living.
I used to body build though...and do martial arts and ballet, among other things. That's one of the reasons I even lived through that wreck and is probably the only reason I can say (I found out) I am still in good shape. They measured our body fat too...I registered at 12.5 which put me in the same class as a fitness guru (LMAO) I'm just skinny.

Just remember as you get older, gravity is going to take over...if you want to be healthy as an older person, start now or at least by the time you are twenty.
When I was 17 I was walking 8 to 10 miles a day or bicycling as far. Easy exercise that pays off in the long run.

Bumping for Fljotsdale while she is here...I would hate to think she thought I ignored her question as this thread drooped back a couple of pages before I got back to reply.

Thank you!

I never lived in FL...I haven't even been in the state but that is not to say that the girl your brother hung out with could not be related to me somehow since that is where my grandmother's family is from and she has/had ten brothers and sisters, most of whom made the state their home, not to mention the fact that my dad spent much of his "off" time from our family in Ohio there and he has kids everywhere he has ever gone.

When the urge to quit hits me I'll try the life savers...and sunflowers...and pistachios...and...LOL

Her name was Monique too?! Well that is a bit intriguing isn't it!
My father passed away last year so I can't ask him how many children he has in FL...she could very well be a cousin or even a half-sister!
