Reached My 2nd Goal!
I'm bumping an old thread with an update. I previously stated that the lung had been punctured, but that seems not to be the case. I stopped by the hospital today to get some of the medical reports from the accident. The assessment from my initial emergency room admittance states:
Blunt Chest Wall trauma, pulmonary contusion, rib fractures and right pneumothorax.
Some of the other reports state a 25% right pneumothorax. I think the important thing is it was a contusion and not a laceration. So I feel better that I will be able to dive even if it is infrequent right now. Still thinking it would be prudent to get an ok from a doctor. What do you think?
