Freestyle Broken ribs internal bleeding

[Hollywood Hood]

Last Wednesday a buddy of mine collided into me going about 30 mph on his standup broke four of my ribs punctured My lung and collapse my lung which caused internal bleeding pretty gnarly worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life! Now I have a temporary chest tube to drain my lungs as the fluid builds up

I had one also , EXTREMLY hard to breathe ..and do not '' laugh'' thats very painful ...... MAKE sure you watch the level of water in the'' chest tube water checkvalve'' they place on the floor, most of the regular nurses will overlook the fact that it '' must '' be kept at a certain level to function properly, most think if they see water its ok ! if the water drops, it becomes an open port to your chest cavity allowing bacteria in , anyways that will give you something to watch out for while your bored out of your mind take care! fwiw

just got off the phone with hollywood. i guess he took a turn for the worse after the last time we talked. he could no longer function properly at work , due to excessive pain and has been basically laying around all day every day. his half a lung has not been inflating , his damaged nerves and muscles are not working and he's so weak, he cant even pick up his kid. the doctors say it take a good 18 months of recovery before parts start working normally. so thats the latest update, not good.
