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.
The alternative is much much worse.

Perspective is important especially when we get caught up in our day to day annoyances with the meds, the recovery, for those still recovering, etc.

That's why I'm not overly grouchy over the blood thinners: Dad died from a PE, so I knew the minute I was told, even before I was told I could dire, just how serious the situation was.

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.
