Hi folks, I’m recovering from multiple pulmonary embolisms and am still having symptoms so my doctor has ordered pulmonary function testing.

Is it necessary for the clinic to know my birth sex?

I know folks can tell hen or roo by saddle feathers, but I’m having the hardest time understanding what saddle feathers are. Can someone help? Is there a diagram? (I won’t judge you for making a diagram in crayon. I would deserve it.)

My ex and I divorced in 2020. It was amicable. No children and few assets. We separated bank accounts and each assumed our car loans.

In 2022, I found out he hadn’t removed me from his credit card attached to the previously joint bank account. I mistakenly thought when he took me off of the bank account I would also be taken off of the card associated with it. He’d racked up several thousand dollars on the card. He said he’d refinance it and, in the meantime, he signed an affidavit stating he is solely responsible for the debt.

He never refinanced it. I found out yesterday that he’s filed for bankruptcy with a $7,000 balance on the card. I’ll now be responsible for the debt. Yippee.

Can I sue him in small claims court for my losses? The affidavit is clear, but I’m not sure how the bankruptcy element plays into this.

Thanks so much.

I had multiple bilateral PEs in March following surgery. I began having significant health anxiety and I haven’t been able to shake it. When I started having panic attacks upon hearing an ambulance, I realized I needed to do something.

I’m starting a virtual intensive outpatient program for anxiety and PTSD today. I’m proud of myself for taking this step. I’m also scared, because I know that addressing the anxiety means I need to address the trauma that led to it.

Just wanted to share with people who understand.

I have severe OSA (AHI of 73). Prior to my PE, my AHI was consistently less than 2 with my CPAP.

My CPAP report is wild. You can pinpoint when my PE was based on the events data. Like 50-55.

I’m on day 84 of blood thinners (terrified to go off in a few days, but that’s another post) and my AHI is still all over the place. A few days ago it was 3, but last night was 36.

Did this happen to any other CPAP users? I asked my doc for a new sleep study but she wants to wait three months post PE. I will see her again next week, but I’m curious is anyone else has dealt with this. Did things go back to normal on their own?

My multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms and pulmonary infarction were diagnosed two months ago. Since then, my goal was to complete Bloomsday, a 12K race through my city with somewhere around 50,000 participants.

I did it, y’all! It took me 3 hours and 20 mins but I did it !
