What is ground glass on a lung CT scan?

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.

@djallan- Oh my goodness, this is what I dread - Being awake for tube insertion. I wonder why they didn't do this is the recovery room or while you were under. I can just imagine the pain because the first time that my tubes came out was by an insensitive know it all intern. And it hurt like hot poker was placed inside of me. Being confined is very difficult especially when you have tubes and boxes and things that you are relying on for survival holding you down and I have restless leg syndrome. However I'm sure that it was a huge relief to breath again! I'm glad that you are beyond this now and enjoying some of your time before you go back into the hospital. What are you doing? You are from from home.

Ugh, I don't miss those days. I'm glad your pneumothorax resolved. Good luck with the zephyr valves.
