First off, I want to thank you for stopping by to read this. And last week’s post. I never thought that something I posted would get that kind of traffic. It was hard to make the post last week about something so personal, but I’m hoping that my slight discomfort about being so open can help someone else.
March is Blood Clot Awareness Month and it’s unfortunate how few people know about the damage that blood clots can do. It just isn’t a big story in the media, and as someone who worked in the media, I can tell you that it never occurred to me. It almost seems like a freak occurrence – to either get or be killed by a blood clot. But if you have the risk factors (or risk activities), it can happen. It happened to me.
