It's a done deal, MP. The collapsed lung and the other one with fluid in it convinced me. Tomorrow I get a chest xray to see if all is well. I feel good about it, I can peg the little gizmo the gave me to take home and measure inspired volume. Hoser

I have a couple of those gizmos myself, Hoser. Glad it's working for you.
I stay away from the term collapsed lung. That's too passive for someone who has actually experienced a pneumothorax. I think perhaps crushed lung is more descriptive.
