Happy clot day to all who celebrate! I was diagnosed with a massive saddle
#PulmonaryEmbolism on the 9th of March 2021 and arrived at the local ER a few hours shy of death at best. It's generally thought that I developed a
#DVT after a high ankle sprain while exercising at home (and tripping over a cat toy that further aggravated it). I never had "The Vid" even to this day five years into it (proceeds to knock on every nearby wooden surface).
I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome afterwards and that this is why a mild injury turned into a life-threatening event.

3. No idea. I think it was supposed to be pulled pork but it tasted like a mouthful of salt.
4. I felt like Jesse Pinkman spending months in captivity as I was preparing to go home five days later.
