A collapsed lung sounds kind of miserable.

I'll commiserate with you about the pickups. I too live in IA and it's out of control. I live in town and a lot of my neighbors have them. They don't need them for work or to get up a treacherous hill. They're just big toys.

Also, those lift chairs are great! We got one for mother-in-law. She scowled at first. Now she loves it.
