I'm doing better, thanks. The stent is bothering me and may continue to do so until they remove it. But I'm down to taking hydrocodone (codiene and tylenol) from taking Oxycontin and Tylenol and I seem to be getting strength back. The intense pain I had around my chest from the chest tube and collapsed lung seems to have mostly gone away.
