First off he is OK I just got off the phone with him.

Those of you down at the track on Wednesday no doubt saw Nelson was having a rough time breathing that night. It turns out he collapsed a lung!!!!! He went to the ER last night to check out shortness of breath and chest pains and that was the diagnosis.

He said it started Monday night and he thought it was just chest pain because he was working hard most of that day. The docs said it is a condition not uncommon with taller skinnier men. Something to do with the amount of muscle/fat mass around the ribcage able to support the lungs or something to that effect. Regardless, he is through with smoking that is for sure. Time for me to do the same!!!!

He is being realeased today and everything should be fine. He just has to take it easy for the next couple of weeks.

Lets all wish him a speedy recovery!!!!

Get well soon buddy !

Get well so we can clean the shop again!!!

 

Holy crap! I thought he was doing just fine... Hope he gets well soon.

Edit: Well I just called him, and he said he'll get out around 8 or 9 tonight... He said they have to xray it (I think he said xray) and make sure he's good to go.

 

Damn, I was there and didn't even notice Get well soon Nelson!!!
