    Yea I'm at the hospital right now my Dr thinks I might have a pulmonary embolism and that would explain the not being able to breathe!

    Oh no! How often were you walking? ugh...I hate that happened

  • Quote

    I was up walking 15-20 mins every hour. The Dr even told me he has never seen anyone walk as much as I was!
