Pulmonary Ebolism

Wow sorry to hear about that.  Hope you make a full recovery soon and I'm glad you are doing ok now.  Andy

WOW thats some crazy shock wave!  So, you're gonna be in a better spot next time eh...
Glad your OK and caught it before you were done.

about those crappie......
 

Get well soon, Man.   

just to make it clear, I was done with lovenox before heading out.  that is some serious $#%@. 

Nobody's coming out alive so spend every day like it's your last.

every day is a gift, and this kind of stuff just reminds us all.  Heal well

Lifting you in Prayer...
Keep well with tight lines.

Thanks guys, looking forward to some great gatherings this year, and some new milestones in fishing accomplishments.  First things first, my daughter needs a kayak fish worthy of a mount, so that is my goal for this year.  Then, I want to land a WSB, I went 0-2 in Monterey.  Hooked two, lost two.  Other than that, I could care less who is president, what the next right they take from me, and most of all, where So Cal is going to get their water.

That's some scary sh!t!
Glad your OK, Take care Montana!

Rich,

I'm glad you got to the ER on time. That's some scary s%*&t.

I had a SERIOUS bout with PE last May. It went on misdiganosed for THREE WEEKS!!! I was a hurtin' pup to say the least. Nearly killed me, it was no joke. The most painfull thing I've ever endured. The pulmonary specialist said I was this close to not making it.... I know how you feel brother, hopefully you recoop quickly and completly. I still feel some scaring in one of my lungs on deep inhales. ( a good reminder) I remember just appreiciating taking a full breath... never got a reason why it happened tho. Certainly helps put things into perspective. Appreciate your health, we take it for granted when everythings' working alright. Take care, you'll be back on the water before you know it

Whew!
I would not have had a clue what was going on. Glad they caught it in time.

Speaking of health. How's your shoulder coming Tote? Hopefully you'll be in good paddlin' shape for the summer.

If Tote has shoulder issues still at Albion, I bet he will have a battery powered cabby crank to deploy this time!  Can't wait. 

Happens often to people on long plane flights where those crowded seats make it very difficult to stretch out your legs.

Glad you're OK, Rich.

Glad your still with us. Rest up and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Good that you've recovered. PE's are very scary.

I think you're on the right track with the blood thinners. Nicks and cuts and normal life trauma will take a bit longer to clot. That shouldn't keep you from having fun. I'd avoid things like chainsaw juggling and motorcycle racing, and carry some bandaging stuff, but you will make it through the normal stuff just fine.

As a medic, I see lots of patients on these meds, and we just don't see them bleeding out from minor trauma.

God luck!
