Started off having chest pain left side of my chest wile I was bending over to grab my tools after 10min pain started going away thought it was a pulled muscle. I took a couple motrin went to bed early. Got up.the morning feeling fine so went out and started to get to work. Delivered some medical equipment to an elderly women and was off to the next as I'm an independent contractor, everything from delivering 2k pounds of wood pellets to zero turns. Wile heading to next stop my right side of chest started to feel tight and pain became extreme started sweating couldn't take deep breath was becoming harder and harder to breathe. Went to nearest hospital thinking I can't die like my dad died at in his 50s from heart attack. Got to hospital was in so much pain started falling to the ground they rushed xray and found out lung was 3cm clappsed then 3 hrs later pain was worse Got CT scan doc comes up and says sorry your lung is fully clappsed Had tube put in and since this is the second time I've had this happen there is a 60% chance it could happen again. So now when I get out of the hospital I'm going to have to schedule for a surgery to permanently adhere the outer layer of my lung to the side wall of my chest which is beyond painful was told that I am not to lift heavy items or do any heavy duty work for 3 mounths which is how I make a living. Not sure what I'm going to do as I'm the main supporter for my kids and wife that's what I live for now what. I hate asking for help but I'm choosing to swallow my pride and except the Unbearable.
