Ask your md: If you are being treated with a blood thinner, it should be ok. You should ask your treating doctor who should know the like cause for the clot and should advise you.

Depends: When was the pe? Usually anti coagulated for 6 or more months depending on underlying conditions. For life with some coagulopathies! if no swelling of legs, bleeding etc your risk should be low. As always care and a caring partner are relevant.
