What is ground glass on a lung CT scan?

@djallan- What great news it is about your lung growth. Did you doctors say what it was? I understand that a pneumothorax is common after a lung biopsy. I also had one but didn't run into any problems. I think that it might be the luck of the draw, but very painful. And I assume that it was scary! I know what chest tubes feel like to come out, where you ok with that?
I'm glad that you still qualify for the valves. Do you know what the procedure will be for that once you have recovered?

Doctors not sure what the nodule was, just glad it's not cancer. They will do another CT scan to check in a few months before the Zephyr valves bronchoscopy procedure.
The worst part of the pneumothorax was the really severe pain in the recovery room. The doctors actually did the tubes in my hospital room. The tube coming out was not too bad.
Being tied up to the chest box, both legs in the clot massagers and all the rest of the wires for vital signs and O2 was the worst thing, just couldn't move for 5 days.
