Post Op Stomach Injections
I had the same as Summerseeker I'd already had a blood clot in 2013 and it wasn't very nice months of going for blood test and thinners for your blood , so know how important they are it's not good some people get pain and cant walk some of them doent and that's fatal that's why it's called the silent killer so you need to take them if given them by the hospital
