oh my gosh sarah... I don't know if you recall... but about 8 months I posted something about my tan lines giving me away... I met this couple at the Trek Store... the man immediately spotted my tan lines and asked if I ever rode with newbies... we planned to ride together the following weekend.

During that conversation he asked if I had difficulty breathing on the bike. Huh? So I told him no, and as he described more I told him he needed to get to the doc. He had already BEEN to the doc, and had a followup a few days later...

the next weekend I called to meet them and the woman (purepink here on the forums) said that her DH would not be riding... about 2-3 hours after we met, he could not breathe... and was rushed in. Yep, he had a pulmonary emolism as well. He was on blood thinners for 6 months. He is now able to ride again... it was very, very scary tho... and like something like this will... it shifted his priorities...

(tprevost... if you read this, the man is Mac, who you rode with... Purepink's DH!)

Hugs, Sarah... glad you're OK... if you have questions about stuff lemme know and I will ask purepink... she is now pretty well versed on this subject...
