Apparently it is now public. I don't know what to say other than I have been touched with one of those fuckers, PEs. See you guys at the drop point on Friday.
Gah. Mortality and good souls.
I assume they rushed him across the border for the superior health care that awaited. God bless america. I know Jeff would agree.
But seriously, Jeff. I don't know what terror you had to experience because I didn't go through it, but I have seen that shit first hand.
So glad you are home!

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it.
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Yeppers. You went through that too? Yikes!

I am so sorry!
My father had a series of pulmonary events and angioplasty throughout my teenage years. I remember how scary it was. I wish the best to you and your family, Jeff.

I never had one, knock on wood. But I have had an experience with a friend whose mother had one and I was in Denver where her mom lived and I was the first person to show up. She lived in Seattle and basically the reason I am here now (Seattle). Not because of her! But I dropped out of college in order to move all her mom's shit up here because I would basically do that for everybody/anybody. But hearing her scream when she got to the hospital in Denver from a crazy flight from Seattle when she witnessed her braindead mom made me HAVE to say I would handle shit and would pack up her mom's house and bring it to Seattle. PEs are fucking awful and I am so glad you sound to be OK, Jeff.

Sending my best thoughts for a speedy recovery!
That said, a pulmonary embolism is totally survivable. I was just talking to a friend/colleague today who suffered one a couple years ago (in his early 30s) and seems not to have any lasting health effects. So hopefully this will be the case with Jeff as well!
