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.
was out skiing last week and got hit by an out of control kid, their helmet hit me in the ribs, I fell landed on my hip and hit myself on the chin, went to the ER as a precaution and all was fine, just amazed that I have no trace of a bruise at all.

whoa, that's lucky. and kudos to you for having the courage to ski - don't know whether i'll ever work up the nerve to do that again.

it's the first time I've been hit hard in 9 or 10 years of skiing, I very rarely fall, wear a helmet, so to me it's an acceptable risk .... life is too short to be spent wrapped up in cotton wool

Glad you're ok! Isn't it crazy when you do something like that and don't bruise? More times than not, when I expect a big bruise, it ends up being really faint, or not at all.

Mark, glad your OK. Your gonna love this one too. Was out plowing snow today and pushed a blade full up under one of our big ole yellow pines. Just then some ice fell and hit me and kind of went down the back of my coat. I looked up to see if maybe a squirrel was the culprit. I looked up at the exact moment a 3" around 4 ' branch broke off and hit me square on the face, and head. So far no bruises, just a bit of a fat lip and a few sore spots on my head. I did call the doctor and they said to watch for all th usual signs. I imagine if anyone had a video then they could be the 100,000 winner on america's funniest videos.

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.
