Gene,

Glad you are doing better.

That is quite a scare.

My Dad had a pulmonary embolism also after some prostate surgery about 
10 years ago.   He was recovering from the surgery and still in the 
hospital when it happened.   It took him a little while to recover fully 
but he is still around causing trouble for my Mom at 83.    He also has 
type II Diabetes.

Its crazy, but after he got past the embolism, and then two shoulder 
surgeries (due to two falls, one off a step ladder and another while 
snow blowing this past winter) he is actually healthier than he was when 
he was in his 70's.

You will adapt to that Coumaden blood thinner.   My Aunt took it for 
years after having a heart valve replaced and she was a farmer.
It never slowed her down at all.

Dave
