You guys make me laugh!! Believe me, I am NOT looking for attention, at least not that kind!! Although I have to say, one of the docs in the ER was really cute. I even said to my (male/married) nurse that the doc was a McSteamy. He got a good laugh out of that. In the morning, I was talking to another nurse, and she said the doc was a heart breaker kind of guy. I was just looking anyway...

Michelle - I LOVE your new picture. You look fantastic!! What is a "PE?" I figure the E is episode, but I'm not sure what the P is??? If it is pulmonary, they tested for that too - twice. I saw my pulmonary doc, my oncologist for BC, a surgeon, my cardiologist, a general PC, infectious disease docs and another doc that I don't even remember what his specialty was, all in the first 12 hours of being there. No one knows what this was, but I can say it certainly hurt like #ell, and I hope that never happens again!!

Love and prayers to all...

A PE is a Pulmonary Embolism
I think you said they checked for that...usually the same symptoms you had....pain, SOB...(shortness of breath )etc.
