Yes. It's still serious but with the IVC filter in place the chance of heart attack or stroke is significantly reduced. I'm going to be fine, I'm sure.

My mum was there a few days... they roll em in: flat out, tubed and wired... next day sitting up for soup > on to a recovery room of 4 sharing for 2 days max > shipped out. I started in a ward for 4, was then moved to a ward of 6, where I would've slept a few nights if I hadn't pushed to go home. (I live 50 miles away so it would've been hard on the family).
Wow, that's very different from here. Then again, our costs are spiraling out of control. I'm glad I don't have to pay the bill for this one. Last time, I wasn't so lucky.
