My GOD. I have seen people with pulmonary embolus die right before my very eyes. It's not a very pleasant experience. Thank GOD your grandma went to the hospital, and I'd say it's a very safe bet that she'll be fine with treatment. If it hasn't killed her before now, it's more than likely not going to.

Hang in there, and you and your family are in my thoughts.

My grandfather sat through a heart attack once. Nobody knew about it until he went into the hospital a week later.

Oh my goodness! That's awful. *hugs* But, your grandmother is obviously one tough cookie. I'll be praying for your grandmother, your mom and you.

Thank you very much. Poor mom. When gram gets nervous she just talks and talks and talks. I think mom is starting to bribe the doctors for sedatives.

ha ha! This is extra hard on your mom, I hope she lets herself get the rest she needs. She can't take care of your gramma if she's not taking care of herself.
