Things have been going well for me. I am back to my level of physical activity I was before the PE and before surgery, thank God. It was so scary not knowing when my endurance would return to normal after the PE. I ran my first 5k since surgery and placed 3rd, so I feel very blessed to be healthy again!! My scar is fading nicely and I haven't had any further complications. I still have curves just like I wanted and will post a few pics from earlier today to note my progress.

Regarding my "Not Worth It" rating.
This has nothing to do with Dr. Harris and his staff.. they have been amazing and Dr. Harris' work is top notch and beautiful. I regret the surgery very much due to the pulmonary embolisms and how it has changed my quality of life until further notice.. could be months or even years from what I'm told. The shortness of breath and fatigue are overwhelming. Being on blood thinners isn't any picnic either. I realize this is a rare thing that happened to me.. but if I could have a do-over, I would have stuck with my old body as at least I was healthy and active. It isn't worth coming that close to death just to look better and isn't worth giving up my health for God knows how long.

Wow, what a terrifying event. So glad you went to the hospital and they have treated you properly. Your body will heal, hopefully your psyche will too. You look amazing, if it's any consolation. Question, did your PS put you on post-op blood thinners? I'm having my MM in Jan and my PS is having me do lovenox injections daily after surgery. Not sure what the criteria is for having this prescribed. It's not mentioned often in the MM reviews by others. Sending you lots of positive, healing energy.

Thank you for the sweet words. No, he did not put me on anything but I wish he had obviously. I had the love box shots in the hospital after the PEs were discovered. The shots are painful so I had them give me them as close to the numb areas as possible. Lol. So you don't have any risk factors for him to put you on lovanox? I got a CT scan last week and the clots are gone thank God. I took a 2 mile walk yesterday so things seems to be looking up!
