The surgeon that removed my blood clot told me this and even his own
father had died of one.


Have you been tested for Factor V Leiden ?
My Prussian ancestors seemed to have passed along this gene.

It might be advisable that your spawn tested -

who may be on the pill and/or pregnant.

I was fully tested by a hematologist and came up with no cause for the
embolism. I think it may have started as a DVT from sitting cramped up
in a deer stand. I had the leg pain but it went away. Took a long time
for the embolism to develop. I had been taking a daily aspirin at the
time. Now I am on blood thinner for life. While it takes longer for
blood to clot when I get a cut and I bruise easily, there is extra
protection against strokes.
