So, I nearly died. How was your week?

[Forbin]

Last Tuesday, I was putting together office furniture at work and my right arm got stiff and and sore. I figured it was just the effort and didn't think anything of it. The next day it came back and my arm went blue so I went to the emergency room figuring that I'd torn a muscle that was swelling and occluding a vein.

I told them about my genetic clotting disorder so they Dopplered me and did a cat scan of my lungs. After the ER doctor saw the scan he was shocked that I was still walking. I had a massive clot in the sub-clavian vein and multiple pulmonary embolisms in both lungs.

I know that some doctors post on here so this is what I have.

those two coupled with too many push-ups leads to

I posting this from my hospital bed. I've had two partially successful vascular procedures and they're planning to take a rib out tomorrow.

So, if there are any vascular surgeons or hematologists on here, what do you think? Will I ever play the violin again?
