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.
I just viewed one of the best animated video explanations of DVT/PE I've seen so far.
It is clear, has excellent animation, is well narrated, and may help some better understand what happened to us.

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 gotta say, 4 years after my PE /DVT and it's still hard for me to watch stuff like this. I intellectually understand what take place in our bodies when we have a clot, but when I see something like this, I feel compelled to look away. It gives me chills.
that is scarey too.
