Still Alive

Out of the hospital for about a week now. Had computer problems, fixed now. Haven’t really been up to blogging anyway. Catching up on anime: Gargantia and Railgun primarily.

Turns out that the anesthesiologist’s fuck-up was compounded by the original hospital not looking too closely. I started having trouble breathing so I went into a nearby hospital’s ER. They ran tests and admitted me, thinking I was having a mild heart attack. Turned out I was dealing with multiple pulmonary embolisms (embolii?) in both lungs. For the non-medically educated, which included me: blood clots in my lungs.

Joy.

So I’m on medication for the next nine months and have no idea when I’m going to return to work. And have to deal with nearly fainting when I stand up (sometimes). I pushed myself too hard fixing the computer last night and it ended up taking me four tries to just walk across the hall and collapse on a bed for thirty minutes to rest.

Going back to see the neurologist today, will update this evening.
