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.
My cardiac echo was all clear so I don't have pulmonary hypertension like the ER Drs thought recently. My Dr believes that my recent difficulty breathing was just weak lungs, a virus and fatigue all combining to sucker punch me. But I finished my 10week final teaching internship on Friday so I have completed my teaching degree finally and can focus on getting my lungs healthy (and prepping for my move to Denver late next month)

Great news! And congrats on completing your teaching degree. It's good to have accomplishments after such a long haul. It reminds us that we do return to some normalcy after all.

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.
