Ambulance, ER, Surgery
Jan 15, 2021 18:03:01 #
It happened about that fast, my wife was fatigued,weak,had trouble breathing so I called an ambulance yesterday afternoon and after some test, scans etc. They found she had blood clots that traveled from her legs and lodged in her lungs right where her breathing tube splits into both lungs. Her o2 levels were 83 % so today they did surgery to remove as much clot as they could and blood thinners will take care of the rest
She got out of surgery at 4 o'clock Houston time and Doc said she did great and she's breathing betterThat was the worst night ever. She called as I was posting this sounds rough, but the most wonderful sound to my ears. Wont get to see her till she's released and that my friends sux to the max cause it might not be till Monday
Last night reminded me of Tom Petty's song
The waiting is the hardest part........

Our prayer are going out for you both! Scares the bejesus out of you when it happens so rapidly.
Wishing a rapid recovery.
I was out in no-mans-land in Canada when clots happened to my dad. They didn’t expect him to make it. I said like HE!! he won’t - just tell him I will be there in 6 hrs and he better say hi when I get there. Good lord worked things for me and I was able to get on a flight with a couple minutes to spare. Made it and so did he. Mom said he kinda perked up when she told him I was flying low to get there and to just hang on a few hours at the very least. Said she didn’t know how fast 160 kilometers per hour was in the rental car but I was on my way to the airport. He lasted about 10 more years.

That's a heart lifting story hunt thanks, reminds me of when my sister had breast cancer and the doc said call in the family i was the last to get there, 1500 miles but when i did she told her friend "that's the one I was waiting for", she perked up that night and went home for a few months
