I might start making edibles. dont want to mess with my lungs.

My employer has no problems. I've taken the week off work to recoup.

Why would I lose my job over something like this? Do you live in the states? Is it common-practice to be worried about job security when you get ill? Just curious.

They gave me an oxygen mask for a few hours which reduced it from 90% to about 50%. Then they inserted a pigtail chest tube and hooked it up to suction for 24 hours until my lung re-inflated. The tear/damage to the lung heals itself.

That is crazy. I am in Canada and work for a big bank in the IT department. My boss told me to take as much time as I need to recover. Granted I am paid hourly so no real loss to them for me to take time off.

Hah, ya... for the first day I could barely move so I had to roll over on my side and pee into a Styrofoam container.

They said that it is not uncommon in tall skinny young males. I am not tall, and am 35 yo.

This was my first one. If you have one, you have a 30% chance of having another one in the next 5 years.
