Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.

Hi All old and new. I have missed you all. Been away dealing with my daughter who has been suffering with a severe eating disorder. That's another story but wanted to say it's almost 3 years since my husband had his su massive bi lateral pulmonary embolisms and cardiac arrest. I can honestly offer hope to anyone and everyone that has suffered this life changing event. I can honestly say that I feel he has come full circle at last. It took an enormous amount of time and energy and loads of heartache, disappointment, fear and anxiety. He suffered through a major depressive episode after 2 years and that was an enormous challenge. He had the site of the DVT stripped from his right leg. There were other various issues, lost confidence at work, job changes and instability, but I want my message to be one of hope to the families too. You will get through everything you are experiencing. You will come out stronger as a person and as a family unit. The things that used to seem important will seem unimportant. And you will never take anything or anyone for granted again. Chin up and hang in to anyone who is just embarking on this journey. It's a long winding road but it leads to a beautiful place. It leads to life, a new and better life with more meaning. I have missed keeping up with you all but you are all in my thoughts and keep going!!! You will get where you want to be and you will be a better version of who you were.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
I'm sorry about your daughter. Eating disorders are so challenging and heart breaking for families. I wish you and your daughter the best with that.
Sending positive thoughts out to you, your daughter, and your family. Hope you see a turnaround with her at some point also.
As always wishing nothing but good things for you and your family, and especially your daughter as she struggles with her disease. I hope that she will also find her way to recovery.
Thank you for such an inspiring and heart felt note. I have been on here for a year and although I never saw any of your other posts before, I do feel a kindred spirit with you and your husband and wish you all the best in your continued health. What you said is so true about the different perspective you can get out of this experience.
God Bless,
