My CXR today showed that the right lung has re-expanded a bit, meaning that the pneumothorax is less. So, that is a very good thing. MD rx is still to lay low and call if any changes in breathing/pain.
Interesting thing, I was reading about pneumothorax on-line, and came across catamenial pneumothorax, which occurs in women with endometriosis. Hmmmm, no way to say if that is what I have unless this recurs; which I pray! it does not. There were just some interesting coincedences between my case and those of people with catamenial ptx. So, we'll see. I feel like my body has been invaded my this disease that is like cancer, but not. I never thought it had the ability to affect so much of my body/life. I thought I was pretty healthy. I just want to have a few babies, then I won't need any of those other important parts! Onward, Jenny, onward. Just pray that this was a true spontaneous pneumo, and not related to endometriosis!! Thanks!

Who says that when your children get to age 18 that a mother's worries are over?? I am glad you are feeling better & know that some day you will experience the JOY & love that I have had being your Mom. I heard it in your voice & laughter everytime we talked over the week-end you watched David. My prayers continue as always for both of you. We are here for you- Mom & Dad

Jenny! Yes, surprising to hear you had a PTX! So glad to hear you are improving! (Uncle Darrel has had two chest tubes before and he is glad you don't have to have one!) What %-age was it?
You take care! We want to hear a complete recovery! Thinking of you, Love and hugs (but not too hard!) from Uncle Darrel and Aunt Margie
