John B,
If the PE is the only issue, she should be able to come home. Doesn't sound that dire. She'll likely be on coumadin. My 50 yr old brother (fit as a fiddle, runs every day) had a PE a couple of months ago. Turns out we have a hereditary blood disorder in the family that makes many of us susceptible to clotting. I've got it as well. Doctor is not worried. A PE can be life-threatening but is treatable.
My in-laws are up there as well. FIL is 86, has a fair amount of medical issues, knee replacement, aching feet, macular degeneration but he still maintains a decent size piece of property on Lake Huron, keeps active. MIL is 83, fell last Fall while playing golf (!!) and they found she has back issues, fell again a couple of weeks ago and broke her leg. They just put her in a boot so she could keep walking. They may complain with a smile on their face but they keep on moving.
As we get older, I think the key is to be as active as we can physically be. If they don't want to move into an assisted living facility, don't force them.
