About 10 years ago my lungs collapsed. As a result they are no scarred internally and I have chronic pleurisy. The pleurisy comes and goes. sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly, sometimes I might go as long as 6 months without experiencing the pain. And the pain, is generally nothing serious.
Generally just a minor sharp pain when I breathe for a moment or two, and its as simple as pressing on my lungs for a second to relieve the pain and correct the issue. Once in a blue moon, maybe once or twice a year the pain is severe enough I have to more or less totally stop what Im doing. In the last 5 years thats happened maybe 3 times. But generally speaking the pain is minor and nothing more then an annoyance. Hell most days I forget I even have pleurisy.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
