Re: Needing to vent

Joan,

You did not say whether you called your surgeon or not. You felt a shifting, you say. Hmmm. Wondering if you did not collapse something in there? I really feel compelled to urge you to call your doc. since the pain began post exerting yourself with gardening. A portion of a lung can collapse causing great deal of discomfort, so can a clot sometimes.

I do not wish to alarm you, but I think further discussion with your surgeon is a must. If he tries to blow you off go to your E.R.

Please let us know.
