    Sorry to hear about it. I had to miss Steve Martin & Martin Short last year due to Covid... It sucks. Nothing more important than your health. Feel better.

    Thanks everyone. I’m admitted to the hospital. Not allowed to fly home 2600 miles. Stuck in a hospital in a strange city for who knows how long. They say it could be days or weeks. 

    will probably also have to miss Pittsburgh. Ugh. This blows. 
  • Shaindli1Shaindli1 MA Posts: 1,438
    Wow. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
    Do you know anyone in town?

    Nope. Flew out for the shows in FL and GA. My buddy has been with me but he needs to go home tomorrow. 

    They won’t let me fly any time soon because I have pulmonary embolisms apparently, blood clots on the lungs so also trying to figure a way home if I still can’t fly when I am released.  Which they say I could be here for days or even weeks. 

    At least I have my music.

    Oh my f-ing Gd... you are so so lucky that you found the PEs... that can be deadly ... holy shit are you a lucky guy. Think of it that way instead of missing shows. 
    Rest up... thank goodness you got to hospital right away. (I'm in medicine and have some knowledge on the topic) 
    You are really quite lucky this didn't happen during show.

    Understandable....PEs usually come from DVTs that alot of us have and don't know cause they aren't symptomatic... until they move up to lungs.

    May Atlanta-based members here contact you? I'm not there, but perhaps those who are could at least make you feel less alone.

    I’m so sorry to hear this. I am glad you caught it. My friend had this a few years ago. She is on blood thinners now and is doing great. Sometimes long flights can cause a DVT. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

    Still here, gonna be here at least through tomorrow. Unsure if i am allowed to fly or not and then gotta figure out what the heck to do when I get released.
