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.
Hi there everyone..
I have been off work for three months now and am going to start back on monday. Its been 10 weeks yesterday since going into hospital with my PE.. and I just really need to vent some concerns that are running through my head really.
6 weeks after the PE I thought I was all fine, then went to london and ended up having a faint attack and feeling like I was going to keel over again. I've not done anything that strenuous since and have been feeling pretty fine the last couple of weeks.
The thing that I am mainly concerned about is that I'm not going back to work in a job I already did, I'm starting a new job, one that I found out I got only a week before I ended up with the PE. I'm a little worried because its going to be doing something completely new, with new people, who at the moment don't know I've been off work for so long with such a serious illness.
I'll be working for a local council library service, mainly spent in one building processing all the books that come in and dealing with the stock, and occasionally travelling out to other libraries to help. I've recieved my itinerary and the first training week is spent in one place, but the second one is spent training on several different sites.
I'm just really worried that I'm not going to be able to cope with it all, and will end up not giving the right impression from the beginning!
HELP..!!!!

I'm not worried about my boss as she is amazingly supportive. I am more worried about me not taking on too much and not being able to say no to people. Whilst I've been off work I haven't put myself in that position but this week I will be and I think I'm going to find it hard to explain or say no especially when everyone is telling me how healthy and well I'm looking.
Hope the new job continues to go well for you.
I know exactly what you mean.. I have a tendancy to work more than I really should, always taking on extra hours, walking to and from work, being on my feet all day and still doing loads after work. I've realised that I can't do anywhere near as much as I used to be able to. I went straight from 3 months off work, to working 37 hour a week in one job, and 4 hours a week in another on a sunday :) I'm giving up the sunday job though, as I've realised after only one week that I really REALLY need two days off a week.
Good luck with your return to work..! Take care of yourself :)
Xx
