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 wasn't anyone's fault in this situation. It was late at night, and snowing quite hard, so he just didn'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 haven'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 didn't really need any more treatment.
Thats awesome, I am really glad youre OK now :)
