Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! Are the treating you for the PE? It's so important to get on that ASAP.

Wow. So sorry you are having such a rough time. At least you are at the hospital and they are discovering the problems and treating them. I hope you get feeling better real soon.

Please keep us updated when you can. We are all thinking of u and sending well wishes your way. Soon you will be over this and happy with the results. In the mean time try to rest and do what they say is best for you.

sorry to hear that you haven't a hard time.. my thoughts and prayers with you. Once you get some iv fluids in you and some antibiotics you will feel so much better. Did they confirm that you had a PE?

Praying for your speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry for your setback. Do whatever they say do and think anything positive that you possibly can. I'm so glad you're in a hospital and you will be better soon. Drugs can be a wonderful thing, you know! People do have setbacks and you have had some bad luck. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers for you and hope things are better very soon. I bet tomorrow will be a better day. Keep us posted because we do CARE!

I have pulmonary embolism and I'm currently on blood thinners to get rid of the clots..I'm very dehydrated but hopefully the iv fluids will help me with that. The way that I'm feeling I know it can't be worst so it's only uphill from here...thanks you guys!!!

Ok silly woman on all the meds, it's downhill / easier from here on out please! No more bad stuff! LOL

ok sorry, I don't want you to giggle because that probably hurts like hell right now. Please know that we're all here for you and pulling for you. Pneumonia isn't all that uncommon after surgery unfortunately. Now that you're in the hospital (sucky place to be, but it's a good thing you're getting the care you need right now!) you'll be getting the good drugs and kick it out of your system asap! Is your surgeon part of your team of doctors right now?

I feel so bad for you *hugs!* and wish you were home and comfy and recuperating. Like my mom tells me "Can't you just do things the easy way?!" lol

Feel better soon!

xoxo, Renee`

@YB things are pretty rough but I know I'll pull through. I've been hit with a big stick of bad luck!! I really appreciate everyone's concern & care for me! Keep sending prayers up for me!! :-))

Girl you almost got hit by the whole TREE of bad luck! You must have been ducking and dodging branches or something LOL

I hope you're feeling a bit better this morning *hugs*

xoxo, Renee`
