After two weeks in the hospital getting fluid from the pulmonary embolism drained out of my chest cavity, I'm finally home and toddling around. And did I mention there was also an abscess? Thank goodness I have decent health insurance and an accommodating workplace.

Would I do it again? Ask me in a few months.
