Thank you, everyone, for all of your good wishes, thoughts, and prayers. It is easier for me to post at this hour as there is less traffic in here and sort of quiet. I have a few inspirational ideas but cannot do anything currently until I stabilize a bit more but just give me some time and I will get them posted for you. I have one lobe that has inflated but not the other one, so am still on massive treatments and eggshells. Hopefully, things will get better but it will take some time so to speak. Wishing everyone a good weekend and am sending all you hugs and prayers and good thoughts. Ciao.

@usmccam by golly one inflated lobe beats none! That’s some uplifting news. I know you are still having tons of treatments, but it is wonderful to hear from you. Know you remain in my prayers and I’m sending you tons of prayers hugs and good wishes. Take care and keep on making progress. Mary

Good morning @usmccam, Good to read another post! I agree with @alamogal635, one inflated lobe is a step in the right direction.
Sending those hugs, prayers and good thoughts right back at you!
Looking forward to reading those inspirational ideas when you have the energy.

@usmccam- An early good morning to you. We had a couple of days of spring weather but now we are back to rain and I am so sick of it. All the blooms are bursting open but the poor things need more sun! Damn!
May I ask how they inflated one of your lungs? Why won't that work for your other one? Is it a chest tube?
What other kinds of treatments are they giving you? I hope that your weekend is peaceful and that you have plenty of sunshine.
Oh- Did you ever get to the solarium?
Merry

@usmccam- We are looking forward to hearing your inspirational ideas after you are more stabilized sir.
I can't help think of our most recent trip back home flying with SW Airlines. It seems like their flight attendants have fun in what they do and although we were not flying over any water on the way home, they decided to have some fun with the mandatory guidance for proper use of inflating the life perserver. I only mention this as I was reading your description of "One lobe inflated, but not the other one". All I could think about the comical routine the attendant did as he was demonstrating the "correct procedure". It's probably one of those "you gotta be there to hear & see it", but hopefully I interjected a little levity into your current situation and provided at least a big smile on your face! God bless you also and have a wonderful weekend! Jim @thankful

@usmccam- How are you doing? I'm worried as we haven't heard from you in a while.
