a few years ago , when i was riding my bike home from work , i was struck by a van on my right side . my right lung fully collapsed and my left partially collapsed . it was a scary situation . i bet it was , i 'm glad you are doing better now . did they find the person driving the van ? did they even stop ? he did , it really was n't anyone 's fault in this situation . it was late at night , and snowing quite hard , so he just did n't see me . luckily , i had insurance and i was out of the hospital in a few days . wow , thats awesome you were only in for a few days . i guess i have n't had an accident that bad before but i would have thought it would have been a longer time period . yeah , i was pretty lucky . i had a chest tube put in , and once my lungs were inflating normally again , i did n't really need any more treatment . thats awesome , i am really glad youre ok now : )
