Back from hospital! I missed you all.

[Wicked Blue]

My husband drove me to the ER Sunday afternoon with chest pain and difficulty breathing.

Diagnosis: multiple pulmonary embolisms and fluid in lungs.

Probably caused after a bad case of flu followed by intense fatigue that kept me in bed much more than normal.

They put me on intravenous heparin. That helped a lot. Today they switched me to an oral blood thinner and warned me to be careful about avoiding cuts and scratches.

Sitting at my desk enjoying a good cup of tea (for a change), dealing with emails, and catching up on the latest news.

Apparently he's not dead yet. Sigh.

9. Sorry to hear about your experience, but happy to hear you're home and recovering!!!

[Wicked Blue]

17. Thanks, Fla Dem

Just took a nap in my own bed. What a treat to be in a bed that doesn't nag you. The hospital one started saying "Don't get up, don't get up" the instant my foot touched the floor.

I hate nagging beds.

I thought it was only a cracked rib, but then it got worse.

20. One of my family almost died from PE. Take your thinners.

Don't eat any of the -itol sugars, xylitol, malitol, sorbitol, etc they thicken the blood.
