My health
Last Wednesday, as I was getting ready for work, I started having a problem breathing and started to come close to passing out. After happening the second time, I realized that this was a very serious problem. I called my mom (because you always call your mom when you’re feeling bad) and had her call 911 for me. The EMT’s came to the apartment and after checking me out, rushed me to the Emergency Room.
The verdict:
Pulmonary Embolism. Basically, I got a blood clot in my calf when I took my trip to New York last July. (A lot of sitting without the ability to move my legs.) Some of the clot broke free and travelled into my lungs. I was in the the hospital for 5 days and am on the road to recovery.
Compounding the problem is the fact that I haven’t been taking very good care of myself, especailly my diabetes. So, I am now taking insulin to care for my diabetes.
I now have a General Practitioner that I am seeing and will do what I can to improve my overall health considerably.

I am so happy that you’re okay and I wish you the speediest recovery in human history. The stuff you described on the phone was evil. I’m really glad you’re getting better.
Mad love, brother. Mad love.
