Well, this time it's not almost Christmas...

So, first off, while I'm not technically fine, I feel fine and things are getting better.

And now here's why I'm in the hospital.

You may remember a few years ago I went to the hospital because I had a pulmonary embolism. This morning I went down to the basement and when I came upstairs I felt like I'd just run a marathon. So I packed my bags, hopped in the car and checked myself in to the ER. One CAT scan later and yeah....another pulmonary embolism.

So I'm in the hospital for a few days. Very likely I'm going to be on some sort of anti-coagulant for the rest of my life. So I made it to 43 before I need daily medication. Not too bad.

Damn mutant healing factor.

Oh, dear. I'm glad that you're feeling okay, that you got help right away, and that this is treatable, but I'm sorry you have this to deal with.

Hope you get sprung soon!

Oh geez! I'm very glad to hear you're doing alright, and that you had the past experience and presence of mind to know what was happening and to get yourself to the hospital. Do you need anything during your stay?

Well. Good self care! Also, yay! You're not dead. And also also, give a shout if you've need. I have a degree in making hospital stays less boring.

I'm pretty sure they don't want me doing that,
