Prayers up! Been there, done that (actually doing that until the bitter end.) Found out I had the caveman gene for clotting after a near death experience, a trip to the emergency room, and a week in the hospital. Three dissolved pulmonary emboli later, and now I take meds everyday to keep from getting them back.

We had an acquaintance who was a doctor. He had just flown back to Texas from a conference he attended in Europe. Upon landing, he got a call to speak at yet another conference, also in Europe, and had to be there immediately. so he hopped another plane and flew back. Sadly, he died in the air on his way back to Europe. He'd developed an embolism or thrombosis, presumably due to having sat for so many hours while failing to get up and move around occasionally. He was 50 years old (fairly young), in good health, ate right, and exercised I was told.
I don't know much about blood clots, and understand even less. Nevertheless, I make it a point to get up and move around after sitting for any length of time.
