My lungs collapsed 6 times near the end of highschool, i am fairly tall and was on the skinnier side, and tall skinny lungs are prone to do that apparently.
They performed surgeries to pop the blebs (blistery things on the lungs i guess) on my lungs and put some powder between my lungs and the rib cage to “glue” them up during the bleb healing. No idea if it was video assisted though.
Haven’t had any serious issue since then. I was training for a marathon before hurting my calf from not stretching, and then i joined a competitive rowing team, so id say no barriers from that standpoint.
For me at least, it seems after an especially violent puking session, my lungs can lightly collapse, or at least there’s a correlation there. This only happened after a night of fairly stiff drinking so i don’t do that anymore.
The surgeries were about 14 years ago, and i can’t imagine how many chest tubes i would have had if i didn’t get them. For me it was great, i hope they help you out similarly.
Yeah, now is definitely going to suck, long term it should be better though. Not getting admitted multiple times in a year is nice.
Avoid abusing the morphine drip, eat the shitty food for a few days, and you’re in the clear more or less. Hopefully you have enough visitors coming by to keep you entertained. Either way I’m rooting for you!
Maybe it’s because I know both languages but is that really a big issue for people? The interop is great, and kotlin is very readable, so the cost of context switching between the two is miniscule.
Some people have an extreme aversion to learning new things though. I feel that holding yourself to the standards and limits of your lowest performers isn’t a great thing.
