David was 40 and had no recognisable signs or symptoms to make him think he had a DVT or PE.

The people who were really saved that day, was my family.

All thanks to the Medical Team in Critical Care ward 6 in the New KOC Hospital in Ahmadi, Kuwait.

It’s still strange looking back. I’ve never smoked, no family history, genetics are negative, protein and minerals were all good. Walking around 5-13km a day for the two weeks before. It was unprovoked and no signs or symptoms to make me think.

In the end, I was able to see my oldest Daughters graduation.

My thrombosis journey began in May 2018

I was 9 weeks pregnant with my fourth child, I was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme morning sickness) and began to develop a headache on the right side of my head. Assuming it was due to the side  effects of the anti-sickness medications I carried on as best as I could with my young children.
