I just spent 3 days in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism shower.
Long story short: the estrogen blocking drug I was on after the breast
cancer, tamoxifen, probably caused it. I'm home on oxygen, will
probably be fine in a few days but I'm off work and tired of this crap.

Thanks to Pat, Serene, Nickie & Rob. I don't feel particularly bad
except the lack of oxygen does cause a problem *smile*.

Oxygen is a really hard habit to break. The detox is a stone drag. *hug*
