PE

Price/Earnings?
Physical Education?
Probable Error?
Nope. Pulmonary Embolism.


I didn't mean to come home from Colorado, write one post, and then take more time off, but that's what bilateral blood clots in my lungs have dictated I need to do. Intense shortness of breath and racing heart rate sent me to the hospital in Elkton yesterday afternoon, and I'm writing this from my hospital bed Tuesday morning. I only got about two hours of sleep last night, so I'd love to go home tonight, but my morning heparin and blood pressure meds are two hours late, so we'll see.


Flying to Colorado and back is the most likely cause, and I'm incredibly grateful that I didn't drop dead on the plane or in Philadelphia airport. Initially very scared, and now really, really grateful.

I'm going to take a break from the blog for a while but hope to be back soon and healthy.

    1. That's just what the dr. said might have helped me! Of course, I'm anticoagulated now and not allowed to fly for six months, but you certainly have the right idea!
