Hey.

Find out about a device called AngioJet, from Possis Medical. Many hospitals in the area and around the country have them. It's a device that uses a "jet" of fluid to disintegrate blood clots, even while they're still in your leg and before they migrate somewhere exceptionally nasty.

I recommend you talk to your doctor about this option. It's a pretty damned fast, safe and effective procedure for dealing with clots.

The blood clot broke up already actually. i had a second scan last friday and it's gone. Now we are just on preventative measures to prevent future clots, and the medication for that provides the most complications.

Oh, well that's good. Well, just keep it in mind if another clot does happen to show up. :)
