oh, he took her off blood thinners for surgery.. we told him she was going to clot. of course he had no choice but he took her off four days before surgery...

In recovery , she is coming to and he comes by and asks how things are and she points to her leg.. CLOT. was he upset. (she spent an additional five days in hospital due to the clot.) Next thing i know he is having his whole staff getting a presentation from one of the doctors who deal in blood work.

The doctor explain to me when i found her in the room. How the surgeon had called her to educate him on clotting etc.. She said once someone clots there is about a 90% chance they may clot again. IF a person clots twice in their lifetime then there is a 99.9% chance they would clot again without blood thinners. Well we had a few serious clots in our time leading up to the big bang.. g
