Thank you for sharing your story, Margie! I know we have all heard that we need to be aggressive in our own healthcare, but your story certainly illustrates it well. I hope it makes an impression we won't forget. I have tended to be one who won't go to the ER until I am so sick my husband calls the ambulance. I think after reading your post I will have to change my ways. A few months ago I was sick enough that I did go, and they found a pulmonary embolism, so I should have learned my lesson then. I am so sorry for all you have gone through, and so glad you were inspired to get the help you needed, and glad there was a better outcome than there might have been. And thanks again for reminding us to be vigilant! TriciaK
