Im frustrated because I cant seem to communicate to my family that I cant do all the things I used to do before my DVT/PE. Im fifty-nine years old and before my hospitalization, I seemed, to myself and apparently others, indestructible. On one hand, I dont want to come across as a whiner, but on the other hand, Im learning to say no to things I know might harm me. On the surface, I look healthy, but under the surface, i.e. my lungs, I feel different, injured internally. I get tired easily. Its hard to balance trying not to sound like a whiner and losing credibility while, on the other hand, not causing my family worry. I wish they would read up more on pulmonary embolism.
