Guys, things are terrible right now.
I was supposed to go on vacation this weekend, a long weekend in Pittsburgh. Tuesday night my husband had a pulminary embolism, and he has been in the hospital since..I don't know when he will be getting out.
This is terrifying...He had one when he was 16..He's lucky to still be alive. He's been on coumadin since then. He's athletic, and in good shape..He has to be to prevent more blood clots. We thought everything was great, then he had this bad one Tuesday. There is some damage to his lung, we don't know what the extent is yet. The dr is going to surgically install a screen to catch clots before they reach his heart. This is major surgery, so I am scared..They'll be doing this in the late fall.
I am having a hard time. I'm not sleeping or eating very well..I know I have to keep it together. Thank God he has an excellent job with excellent benefits. I just want him home with me.
So say some prayers for us, ok?

I will pray for you, light a candle for Buddha for you, do a Shaman rain dance for you, sit shiva, and any other religious blessing you could ask for! Tell your husband I said get well soon!

EEEEK! Don't sit shiva...That's only for the dead!
Thank you, I truly appreciate it. He's gonna be ok

Sorry Sorry Sorry! I'm not an expert in Judaism, I wasn't aware of that! I knew it was some kind of blessing, I take it back!

lol...It's ok, it's the thought that counts!
See what knowledge you can gain from a useless philosophy degree?

Not so useless now is it! Your knowledge of Jewish rituals just stopped me from performing a vigil for the dead on your husband's behalf. That would have been a bad omen!

You're absolutely right!
Ari, thank you so much. Your lovely British-esq humor(or should I say humour?) just made my day. You're my bud.

Fins, you're in my thoughts and prayers. I kind of wondered why you were around earlier tonight. Take care, I'm here if you need to talk.
