Obama nearly there

The irony in the timing of this thread and the discussion of healthcare.

For the first time in my entire 41 year life, I spent a few days in a hospital.

Got admitted on Friday and was released today. Had a partially collapsed lung (Pneumothorax). They had to insert a tube into my chest cavity to let the air trapped between the lung and chest wall out so that the lung could reinflate.

Great doctors and nurses. Loved the main doctor who did all the work on me. I'm looking forward to my part of the bill after insurance takes care of it's part.

So, to recap, no more discussion of healthcare related items in the future

Hope you're feeling better now, Bill.

Much better thank you !!!

Just a little sore where they put the catheter in but that'll be better in another few days.

Heh..sorry.

They put in a chest catheter to remove the air that had built up between my lung and chest wall.

Just under my armpit.

Not the type of catheter that I was thinking about, then.

Still sounds particularly nasty, mate. But at least you can keep up with the mango gatorade without having panic attacks

Yep.

I'm easing off the Gatorade though. Too much sodium.
