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.
It seems like jokes about living life wrapped in bubble wrap pop up here semi-regularly, but I didn't realize that you could actually buy a bubble wrap suit if you wanted one. This is always an option if you're feeling a little paranoid about being on anticoagulants!

Thanks for the good laugh. I should get one of these for when I'm working in the kitchen. I dropped a small steak knife the other day, and it grazed my bare leg. Didn't think much about it, carried on with my food prep, till I noticed my leg felt "wet". Oops! Must remember to treat all wounds promptly. ; )

Haha! I'd get one just for all the popping sounds I'd make when taking a seat.

That's awesome. Ha ha!

Very funny! You do learn very quickly with this stuff. I just recently purchased a new mandolin. (Sp?) on sale, brought it home, was slicing potatoes and wound up slicing my finger three stitches and an emgency room visit worth. So much for the sale.

I'm terrified of using mandolins, warfarin or not!

That's funny with the suit! I can only imagine my kids with one.

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.
