Glad to be alive. Had a pulmonary embolism, 5 years after having my first one. Now I will be on blood thinners for life, but I am thankful for it as blood tests did not find a reason why I am getting them and I don’t want to have another. The challenge is I won’t be able to exercise for some time so I had to recalculate my RDI. Again, I am grateful to be alive as many die from this. I don’t take this gift of life lightly. Right now I’m resting and focusing on recovery. I only got to spend one day with my new students before leaving for the hospital right after school. Luckily, they didn’t notice my swollen leg and was I was still breathing well. They are so sweet and I miss them greatly, but I have to put my health first.

Thanks, friends. I am extremely thankful for the medical advances that will allow me to continue living. Bummed that they've told me no bike riding, but that's a small price to pay. Claire, genetic tests revealed no predisposition or clotting disorder. During recent travel I remembered to continually get up, wiggle my toes, rotate my ankles, etc. Just a bad roll of the dice. I was already on a good path health-wise, but this will further cement that commitment. I'm just so relieved I didn't leave my girls without a mom, my parents without, a daughter, and my husband without a wife. It would also have been devastating to leave second and third graders without their teacher. I have a lot of friends as well so I have lots of reasons to push myself to listen to my body and seek immediate care when necessary. I don't take the seriousness of this lightly.

JC since this was not my first rodeo I knew not to waste time. Hubby made a delicious, nutritious meal and I am parked on my behind while he cleans up.
