PE anniversary

2 years ago today the Drs at Fremantle Hospital in Western Australia saved my life after I suffered a massive pulmonary embolism:

If this is me recovering what did I look like for the 3 weeks before that LOL
 3.5 weeks of clots amassing in my lungs, one ambulance ride, a day in the ER, a day in the ICU and several days on the normal ward, boy was I ready to head home!
So just one or two little pills to take home when I was discharged!
That bag of medication was why I had home nurse visits daily for 2 weeks, warfarin dosages can be tricky to figure out.

I don't miss those daily blood thinning injections... this is why I like road tripping.... flying sucks these days
So if any of you out there are flying today or any day, take aspirin and do the leg exercises.

Thankful to have had 2 extra years and hopefully many more to come.
