Well, here I am. 59 years old in a few days’ time (the same age as my Mum when she suddenly died from a massive bilateral saddle pulmonary embolism), 42 years post first DVT and 36 years post my own massive bilateral pulmonary emboli which nearly put paid to me too. My left calf is a bit swollen, veiny, and achy due to post thrombotic syndrome and my lungs a bit iffy, especially in the cold, due to scarring from the clots but I’m still standing and very grateful to be here writing this blog today.
