Well..remember I was sick last week? on the 4th, I went to ER and had some tests run because I was in so much pain and my husband and I were shocked to find out that my pain (right side chest and back) weren't caused by pneumonia as we suspected but from a blood clot.

I just got out of the hospital on the 11th, after being there for a week on Heparin and Coumadin and pain pills. Oh let me tell you the pain has been horrible and it's not getting any better, just having a better time controlling it. So, diagnosis....Pulmonary Embolism. I sit here now hooked up to an oxygen machine because I can't do anything without my blood o2 crashing! ARGH...This is going to be a long, slow recovery but just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't been ignoring or running away, just been in a bit of a bind!
LOL.

I hope everyone is taking care and doing well.

Take Care,
Kimberly.
