So i cant seem to find the last post that i saved as a draft but never published. Supposedly though all of you can read it so if you would like to comment on it id prefer it was on this page instead. Now then, added to the rest of my last post i went to the hospital 8 days ago and they continued to run blood work and urine samples trying to figure out what exactly was wrong.....And the results concluded....well....nothing. I dont have a viral infection and i dont have a bacterial infection. So then what is it. The doctor did not run the bronchoscopy on monday. A new CT scan showed a pneumo-thorax, basically a gas space on the right lung thats squeezing it making it hard to break. Now then they took me for a thoracoscopy where they stuck a tube in my right side and into that space and got out basically all the air and inflated the lung. the took samples from there and ran tests but thos all did not show enough to know exactly whats wrong so they have been sent to pulmonary pathologist in Philly and he will hopefully have a better idea of what the hell is wrong with me. The tube was taken out of my chest last night and trust me dont even know how bad that hurt.

Im just waiting for that day that i can get back to florida and finish my amazing fucking internship. Why me? I come home for what is supposed to be 4 days and is now 14. This is insane. Well, wish me luck and I sure hope to get out of here sometime next week. Airplane is questionable now because of the cabin pressure but i have no problem jumpin on a train for 23 hours just take me back!!!
