I'm not really sure if I should post this; for the most part this site is positive and offers great support for those of us that need it.

Many people on this site have made connections and have talked away from the forum. I am definitely one of them.

With a heavy heart I'm sad to announce that someone that has become a great friend in a short amount if time, livesaveremt, passed away Monday. He had his surgery at the end of February. So far, they are saying he had a blood clot (a known complication from the surgery) that traveled up into his heart and lungs.

Fred, you were a great guy and will be missed. You were always a positive support system and a rock to lean on.

God Speed. We'll take it from here.....

So sad to hear rip Fred rest easy please watch over us all prayers r w ur family

My deepest expressions of care and concern go out to the family!

I had surgery on 2/28. I was having pain in my calf for the last week or so. Today I was diagnosed with a blood clot. I now am taking a blood thinner for the next 6 months. Doc said I was a ticking time bomb.

Thank God you got to the doctor!!

Omg I am so sorry to hear this! RIP Fred

So very sorry to hear this. I am still pre-op and it makes you wonder...praying for the family.

Wow! How very tragic. May he RIP. Prayers for his family. So very sorry.

Rest in Peace! I will walk more in honor of him. Love and prayers to his family.

So sad to hear this. I hope his family and loved ones have many wonderful memories with him to help them through his passing. Rest in peace.

RIP Fred. My prayers are with his friends and family.
