Pain in the .... Lung?

So, since Friday evening, I have been having pains in my right shoulder. They started as gas-like pain, but subsided to bearability with Ibuprofen and rest. Last night I started having a grabbing pain in my mid-back. It was intense enough to head to the ER. Our awesome friend, Lara, came over just before 10PM to be with the kids. Finally after blood work, chest x-ray, and a CT scan, I found out I have a blood clot in the lower portion of my right lung. They gave me meds and instructions and sent me home. It didn't really hit me how BIG this was until I called my mom. Anyway, what I thought were symptoms of Pleurisy were signs of this clot. I have a follow-up Dr. visit this week and will keep you posted to changes. For now, I'll be fine (and I'm getting out of "non-essential" work). The shock is over now and I just have to either give myself a shot twice daily or beg my fabulous neighbors (RN's) to do it for me...I vote the latter!!
