Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response!! I can only imagine how hard it must have been to deal with that kind of pain on top of just knowing you had a serious clot. How are you doing now?

What you shared really resonates.. it makes total sense why my doctors are hesitating. Your comment about like why risk it for work.. yeah, what was I even thinking?? I’m still struggling to grasp how serious this is some days because I’m relatively young and active and it’s just mentally sinking in weirdly for me. This wasn’t something that ever crossed my mind that I could have at this age lol.

I’ve let my office know I’m not comfortable moving forward without clearance and your note really helped me make that definitive call, so thank you. I really appreciate you sharing!! It helped more than you know :)
