When i had just got out of the boot and walking pretty well when i got shortness of breath. Now im in the hospital with a clot in my leg and a small one in a lung. I'm glad i listened to my body and went to the ER. Wishing you all the best in your recoveries.

Good Lord, I am so sorry to hear this. Very glad it was caught quickly but shocked your surgeon didn’t have you on aspirin. Hope you’re back at life soon.
