That was not fun at all

Gentlebeings, grow wise by me: pulmonary embolism can present without chest pain, merely shortness of breath.  I thought it was something simple, like pneumonia.

On the other hand, I have the fun of telling people that I'm taking rat poison...

Oh dear! Please take care!

How often will you have to have your blood checked?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

So far, every few days. Dunno about the future.

I'm trying not to bump into things. :P

[cluesby4.livejournal.com]

Just make sure you do NOT read Cardinality. ;-)

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Hee! That one's been much on my mind of late. I still think that's one of the best Mossley turned out--and she never posted anything that was less than outstanding.

ITA...it was the first GSR fanfic I read. And introduced me to the fandom. ;-)

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, hard to read lesser works after that! XD The woman's gift for a casefile always leaves me deep in awe.

[realinterrobang.livejournal.com]

Ow! I'm glad you're still alive! That's really scary.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks, me too!

We somehow didn't realize how scary it was until later. Just as well; one doesn't want to panic when one can't breathe well. :P

Holy shit, woman. Take care.

I'm trying not to bump into things! :D

Oh wow... My aunt had a couple of those. They're rough. Feel better!

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Working on it! It's a good thing I'm not back at work yet, though.

[katrinb.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Here's to a quick recovery from this one, and no further health issues in the future!

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

Will you be at the party on Saturday?

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

0.0 YIKES! I'm glad you are doing ok, despite the rat poison. What are the chances of recurrence?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've got another one in my leg, though it does seem to be shrinking. They say I'll probably have to take the stuff for six months or so.

But then, I've always clotted very well.

Thanks!

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

6 months? Wow. What's causing the clots, or is there a cause?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, I had surgery a month ago. I'm recovering nicely from that, but apparently my body decided it was a good excuse to try to kill me... :P

[csikathy.livejournal.com]

I am very late to wish you a speedy recovery and padded furniture. Bumps and bruises are no fun if you don't clot well.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

And I'm late in replying, sorry! So far the bruising isn't too bad. :D

Thanks!
