Lesson of the Day

Don't get liposuction - Just ask my hair stylist.

You see, my hair stylist got liposuction last week - she didn't need it in my opinion, but you know how it goes. Then lands herself a visit in the intensive care unit, yes, the ICU. It seems she got home and was recovering and started having trouble breathing. She was taken (quickly) to the hospital where they found a blood clot in her lung. I'm sure most of you know that blood clots in your lungs = bad, very BAD. I'm a licensed Respiratory Therapist, I know how bad. (Remember David Blume, the NBC reporter, passing away from a pulmonary embolisim while reporting for the war?) It could have been that bad. When they got her to the hospital she was given a 40% chance. Thank God they got her there in time and she was put on blood thinners to take care of the clots and is just now getting home to finish recovering. I'm so thankful she is okay. God was taking care of her, that is for sure!
