They took me from work tonight, to the Emergency Room. I could not take a full breath and was still working away on partial breaths when they came and got me. Bottom line, lung infection, swelling and inflamed and pluericy. After half a dozen tests, the Doc. gave me a shot that enabled me to take a few full breaths because my right lung was deflating. Three prescriptions to fix er up. Off work until Tuesday now, which sucks, especially as I now have to figure out how to smoke with this problem. LOL, any suggestions?

I hope you feel better soon. Definately hold off in smoking till you are finished with medications. Respiratory infections can be difficult at times and you need to be careful.

Ya, I slept late today, got up at 1:00pm after going to bed at 5:00am. Still can only take 3/4 of a full breath. Coffee in front of me and I am looking at my pipes pretty hard right now. I do inhale about 50% of the bowl but am wondering if I am able to have a bowl full and concentrate on NOT inhaling at all.

Get better soon, man. If it were me, I'd baby the lungs until the meds were done, but that's me and my lungs. YMMV. :)

PLEASE resist the temptation to light up until you're 100%. You might try what I did, last year, when I was hospitalized and couldn't smoke. I had my wife bring me a couple of recently smoked pipes, put them by the bedside, and took a whiff of the bowls from time to time. A little scent of Latakia, some Sunset Breeze, and handling the pipes -- not as good as the real thing, but the next best thing under the circumstances.
And, I hate to say it, but you might want to give up on the inhaling once you're recovered.
Get well soon!

Really sorry to hear it fisher. We feel your pain.
I don't inhale - but inevitably, some gets inhaled. When I was sick with the flu and on the upswing, I smoked a bit earlier than I should and regretted it. A full month+ later I wound up having to stop completely for a full week just to let my lungs properly clear themselves.
In your condition, I doubt you could keep from inhaling enough - even a little will have serious effects I imagine.
Stay strong - you'll get through it.

Get better, once you hit 100% just catch up on the smoking. Probably need a 1 week smoke-a-thon. Bring in a pit crew to keep you hydrated, and to pack the pipe.
