    You see Dave, it's not that we are trying to be your mother. It's that we would really miss you if something happened and let's face it. You and I are reaching the age where things break. :smile:
    Dean...I completely understand and I appreciate your input and concern. You'll be happy to know that I heeded your advice and sucked it up and made an appointment for this afternoon. :smile: :drinker:

    And adding on after seeing the rest of the posts...thank you so much for the care from the rest of you too! I really do appreciate it. :flowerforyou:

    Dave

    @Dave - Thanks Dave. That does make me feel better. I'd really like to have you around for years to come on this sight. You're enthusiasm and cheerful attitude really do help motivate people and make their lives better. Every once in awhile someone comes along that is an inspiration to others. They aren't out there yelling or selling. They just be who they are and it inspires others. You are one of those people. Here's to a quick recovery and hoping you get to come back and tell us all, "I told you so!" :smile:

    Thank you SO much for the kind words, Dean. I truly do appreciate them. I'm really glad I listened to you because now...here's where I get to say, "YOU told me so." :smile: I frequently am one to dismiss just about any symptoms and try to take care of them by myself and internally scoff when someone says "You should go see a doctor" over a cough or an ache...but you, Dean, said just the right things to snap me out of my eternal stubbornness. :smiley: I went to my appointment and the doctor did an exam and I had an EKG which came back normal, then a chest x-ray which also came back clear, but the doc didn't want to just send me home with nothing while still having trouble breathing so he sent me to another facility for a chest CT scan which clearly identified a large blood clot in my lung that I've been carrying around for who knows how long! At least 3-4 weeks. So it's a really good thing I went in when I did because I was a potential ticking bomb waiting to go off. I see him again in about an hour to get started on blood thinners for however long he says. Probably a few months, maybe for good.

    But thanks again, Dean. I owe ya big on this one. :blush: And this one time I won't mind if you send me a bill. :laugh:

    Dave
    so very glad your doctor found the clot .... And now you are on the road to recovery .... :)

    I'm just glad they found something. I'm glad it was something they can treat. :smile: That will probably keep you off the bike for awhile but that's ok. As long as you continue to lurk and encourage, that's payment enough for me. :smile:

    Here's to a speedy recovery with minimal problems. :+1:

    Finally adding something. I'm short one run. I have to find out the distance one of these days. Not doing as well as I had planned. The rain has put a damper on my running partly.

    4.4 mile run/walk

    @Dave - so happy you went and got a diagnosis, especially one that's manageable. You probably helped save your own life by being so active and in better shape than most people in our age range. :smile: A pulmonary embolism (PE) can lead to sudden and more severe symptoms than what you described. And I think you got your money's worth on the $260. smiley-hug002.gif

    It's the Giro challenge and the new bike. You put the two together and you can really pile on the miles. :smile:

    Adding 16 miles to get myself up to date. Spent a lot of time in the car the last few days moving my daughter and her husband from Minneapolis to Lincoln. Moving them from an apartment to a house got me lots of stairs but not a lot of miles! LOL! I'll play catch up this week and next and hopefully keep my streak going. :)

    @Dave, OMG that is exactly what my SIL died from last week ( & she had been in the hospital for 3 days!) I'm sooooo glad you listened to all of us who worry about you! Now listen to the medical pro's & get yourself well so you can get your @ss moving again! LOL


    I did not get to go clean for my friend (tomorrow now) so I walked my clean cut furries 3 miles & did another 6 on my ex bike! Whoop whoop I passed my goal!!!

    Adding 36 miles for 241 out of 300.

    Can we start donating miles for Dave so he can still hit goal? :smile: Like donating sick leave when someone is out with a long term illness? :smile:

    @Dave: I am so glad you listened to Dean. We just lost a Special Ed. assistant last week while at work. He refused to go to the hospital and a principal called 911 and they took him. He had a blood clot in his lung and did not make it. Praise the Lord they found yours and the doctor was wise to send you for more tests. My husband finally got the insurance okay to have a lung CAT Scan and that has been our concern. You be a good patient and let them work on reducing that clot. I know all of us are so glad that they found this in time.
