Hi guys!!!!!!

So glad to be back!!!!!! I missed you guys crazy!!!!!!!!!

I was admited in the Emergency Room on Feb 25 around noon and just got released today!!!!!!!!! It was soooo scary...I had sudden chest pain under the left breast that went through to the upper left back. By morning on wednesday...I couldn't breathe...
Anyway...after a couple of hours in Emergency...they announced this crazy news to me!! They say I had Pulmonary Embulism??????
I couldn't believe it!!!!!!! blood clot ...one in each lungs!!!! Well...they admitted me in...I must have gone through every machine known to mankind and every test...I had a heart monitor on for 5 days and a blood thinner Thru an IV machine for 8 days ( I got soo sick of beeing tied up to that darn life saving thing I gave it a name out of boredom. I called it George and told all the nurses and doctors that he was my new man!!) They would get a kick out of that one! Anyway...I am really scared, because I never want to go through this again!! They did extensive tests and the good news is ..in my case it doesn't seem like it's genetic at all and It doesn't seem like I have a tendency for them. I am still left with unanswered questions...Like...Why did I get them? So now , I am scarred and paranoid!!! On top of that ..I have to be on blood thinners for 6 months and do blood work every monday for 2 months!!!!
BUT....My hospital doctor who will be following me told me that Medifast is a good diet. The only thing is I need not change diet if I can because every dietary change will lead to a medication dose adjustment!!! I feel like I just got handed a 6 months life sentence with possibility of parole and I intend to make Parole!!! So that's Where I have been...
What a Life!
I did miss you guys and kept thinking...How I couldn't wait to get back to this forum! I will start Medifast Friday...I hope I didn't gain anything in the hospital...I had no choice but survive on little bites ot that hospital food... I ate so little of it but I barely moved around ....
Well...I am glad to be back!
I hope all of you were shaking while I stepped away...'cause this train is still en route to Thinville USA!!

All my love to you guys,

Nelly

SOOOOO GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!! boy..you have been through alot!! any hospital stay is TOUGH..and every day is LONG that your not home!! Im only an EMT...and dont know the Medical facts about the Embolism you experienced...but anything that has to do with your heart or lungs/big organs...is enough to scare the life out of ya!! while I was reading your post I was thinking...its a good THING THIS DOCTOR agreed that MEDIFAST was good for you!!! it that Doc was anything like the last one....the whole hospital floor would have been SORRY!! lol!! well..the important thing is that you take good care of your health. our health is all that we have...we take it for granted. I see people in my job every day who one minute were "healthy" and the next they were having seizures or heart attacks....when life throws you Lemons...you make Lemonade!! just keep going...follow your Doctors orders and know that our thoughts are with you....your a TOUGH COOKIE girl...you can pull thru anything!!

we missed you!! get yourself shakin..and back on track...youll be feeling better in no time!!

Glad to have ya back!!

OMG I thought you were taking a break or something --- what a lucky break you got yourself to the hospital to take care of this ---- it is so serious! But you sound GOOD! Thank goodness you got to where you needed to be to have yourself well taken care of ...

We missed you - we want you to be well and never leave us like that again!!

I am so glad you met Doc Medifast and he gave you encouragement for the program ---- the other one is just a nasty memory at this point!!!!!

You are an important part of this forum!!!
