200. Glad you got to the ICU ok, Bill

Sat Mar 29, 2025, 04:36 PM

Mar 29

I had a massive saddle PE out of the blue nearly 10 years ago (attributed to one of the new formula birth control pills). Similar in some ways, the PE put pressure on the right side of my heart, and I was worried I was having early heart issues (I was late 40s at the time but have rheumatoid arthritis). They used clot busters via catheter and thankfully I was on my way home after 8 days. Being in critical condition sure reminds us fast how tenuous life can be. Feel better soon, I'm glad you've got good care!
