Four years ago today, I had been home from New Zealand for a little over a week. I had had pain in my left calf for several days following the 12.5 hour flight, but it had resolved a day ago. I was sitting down with my Mom and Wes to watch Lord Of The Rings. Suddenly, I had severe, sharp left chest pain. Worst pain I’ve ever felt. As an experienced paramedic, I was 90% sure it was a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) resulting from the long flight. I texted Laura that I had the chest pain, and that I was going to call the Kaiser advice nurse. Her response was, “What the fuck are you thinking? You know what the nurse is going to say, either call 911 or go to the ER!” So, my poor, freaked out Mom drove me 18 miles to Kaiser Santa Rosa. Upon arrival, the ER techs blew me off when I told them that I was positive it was a PE. However, once the lab results and CT came back, it was determined that I had TWO blood clots in my left lung. One small one, and one large one. These could have easily killed me. This was the most frightened I’ve ever been. I make sure to get up and walk around on long flights now. I am glad to be alive! #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor https://www.instagram.com/p/Chxn9YiP0W6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love Me...Please.... Thought I would share this with you. I've been experiencing a great deal of anxiety and tonight after I took time to face it beauty was born. I am still the woman I once was.

I new the anniversary of my #pulmonaryembolism was coming. This is probably why I've been obsessed with death lately. I'm doing ANYTHING to get out of my own head. For better or worse. I think I seriously have #PTSD over nearly dying twice in my short lifetime. How do other people deal with this fear? #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #bloodclot #scarystories (at Planet Fitness)

To most this is a fitted sheet on a bed. It takes less than 5 minutes to it put on and no effort is needed. To me it's proof of how far I have come. It took me 15 minutes to put this fitted sheet on my Mermaid's twin bed. I am out of breath and my chest hurts. But I did it on my own without help. I did what I was told I would never be able to do again... #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #survivor #itsthelittlethings #PTSD #posttraumaticstressdisorder

September 18, 6:21 PM UPDATE!!! NEW PHOTO! I HAVE BEEN #DISCHARGED IN TIME TO CELEBRATE ROSH HASHANAH WITH MY FAMILY AND IN-LAWS!!! Thank you so much to everyone for your #love, #support and #encouragement. I have been reading so many #wonderful comments. I am absolutely #astonished by the outpouring of love and support I have received in the last 24 hours! I am so #blessed to still be here after such a close call. I started a new blood thinner today. I feel #good. My #lungs feel like they're wide open, but it'll be up to six months until the #clots are completely gone. I am currently #enjoying some 'quiet time on my parents' porch before #Shabbat. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers!!! HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ #sweatingafterthewedding #deepveinthrombosis #dvt #pulmonaryembolism #pe #dvtsurvivor #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #pesurvivor #roshhashana #shanatova #שנהטובה https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXdJVdH3dO/?igshid=ipzmk1jcf5q6

Thursday I did a little grocery shopping on my day off. I did it under the radar and didn't go crazy. But I was worried. Worried about people and their reactions. . . I am glad I did because the world is crazy right now. Am I concerned? Definitely. But less about the virus and more about people and flattening the curve. . . I will go out as little as possible not because it's the end of the world but because of science. For those who need to go out keep it clean and at a distance. . . It'll be a trying few weeks maybe longer. Told my husband today "well it looks like this will be the first world crisis we survive together". Do I have fear? Yes. Do I have anxiety? Of course. . . Let's be kind, rational, and if you have extra please share with those who couldn't get their groceries in time. . . #thisisraineysjourney #fibrowarrior #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #chronicillness #spoonie #spoonielife #chronesdisease #thrombophilia #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #factor7mutation #psd #ptsdrecovery #pmdd #highfunctioningdepression #endometriosis #womenwholift #kneerehabilitation #metoo #iamasurvivor #traumasurvivor #iamforher #writer #bossbabe #lovetoread #covid_19 #socialdistancing #flattenthecurve https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uTMObHijg/?igshid=bpk7q0bzwizh

I am Thankful and Grateful for the amount raised and contributed towards my recovery so far. The unfortunate truth is that although it has helped me immensely so far, we are still very far below our fundraising goal.

In addition, my doctors have advised me not to return to work until October 2020, and this extended time out of work far exceeds what my emergency savings can withstand. So it is with a heavy heart that I must ask for additional contributions. I also ask that my wonderful donors who have already contributed please share the GoFundMe Campaign on their Social Media networks and among their friends.

“The most truly generous persons are those who give silently without hope of praise or reward.” – Carol Ryrie Brink

Many thanks to the friends, family and colleagues who have donated or have pledged a future donation to my recovery efforts. No Donation is too small, whether it be $5.00 or $500.00 its the thoughts and intentions of the giver that matter most.
