I had my surgery the 4th, and am now just waiting and healing and trying to do everything right to heal properly.  I noticed that my left side is way more bruised than my right and its swolen.  my doctor once told me how one kid shot around basketballs after three weeks and had to get his chest drained again.  Im swollen right now, is that normal cuase of the bruising or is this the same as what happened to the other kid?

Your post begs the question...Did you too, shoot basketballs???

I assume you didn't.  But you are only 6 days PO...let the healing continue and the unilateral swelling may be just  normal.  Don't strain yourself physically and for god's sake..don't look at any porn!!
