    I have that too but I didn't have any trouble with blood clots. I made sure to walk around a LOT in the hospital and once I got home post-op and while you're in the hospital they use those things that massage your calves to prevent blood clots and I made sure to use them any time I was in the bed.


    Thank you! Did you have shots to take home also? I planned on walking a ton and I also have the massaging calf thing at home I plan on using!

    Oh do be careful, I remember an NBC reporter during the Gulf War died of this.I think his name was David Bloom. And I think he was only 40 years old.
    I did read about him, but his clot was caused by being in cramped quarters for so long.


  3. Good evening everyone. I have a question. Do any of you have factor 5 (blood clotting disorder) and had surgery? I was told I will be on blood thinner shots for 4 weeks after surgery, but wanted to know if anyone else had this and what did you do to prevent getting blood clots. TIA!!
