Bill Clinton's New Health Issue

I wish him luck - and special luck, too, considering the same operation he's going to have to remove scar tissue from his lung is one I face (but our health insurance plan is a little different I think - wink wink - because I have to wait for the surgery). Mine's not from open heart surgery, however, but residue from a super-bug.

It was soooo encouraging to hear (for the first time) that scar tissue alone can collapse a lung. Nobody had ever mentioned that to me (already had one but it was never quite explained how that happened although I got to spend a lovely three weeks with tubes keeping my lung expanded).
