So glad you caught this early...My sister died in January of this year of that same thing, she had surgery on her leg in December and while she was home recuperating, she went to sleep and did not wake up....autopsy revealed a pulminary embolism that traveled all the way to lung and heart. So, thanks for this message and again, glad you are here.

God does wonderful things for us. He wasn't ready for you yet, and this was a warning. So glad you found out what was wrong,and apparenty you can be (repaired). Wishing and praying for a successful recovery.
Another body part that can make you feel totally exhausted is your Thyroid. I found that out when it was out of sync at the health fair. Took meds for a yr. for it, then had a biopsy done and went to an ENT and he suggested surgery. I had a total thyroidectomy June 2009, turned out that I had cancer in my left thyroid. But so far 2 yrs later no sign of cancer anywhere. I get a checkup every 6 months. God has blessed me and isn't ready for me yet either.

So glad to hear you took care of things quickly, sometimes we try to pass things off as "I'm just overtired" when we shouldn't. Good for you

Good reminder. When I was 63 I gradually lost energy to the point it was hard to vacuum or even walk around the grocery store to do the shopping. I chalked it up to getting older but turned out to have a blocked artery in my heart. I had angioplasty with stents and it took about 2 years to fully recover although I have to say I didn't ever have much pain. I'm 70 now and feel great. Younger women, always question a lack of energy, it's just not normal.
