They sent me home from the hospital this afternoon. The doctors determined that the leakage from the lung has stopped. The surgery on Monday worked and the lung is healing itself. They verified the fix with a couple of x-rays. They removed the remaining tubes from my chest, and the IV from my neck. After three weeks in the hospital I am now at home! I have three fewer ribs, some extremely manly looking scars, and my lungs are still in place. There will be some at home recovery time until I can regain my strength and get rid of the pain. I will still be on antibiotics and pain medication for a while, and I am not allowed to drive for a while. I should be able to work from home during my recovery.
