I was having shortness of breath. My Dr. ordered an Echo Cardiogram and Necular Stress Test. When I returned for results they sent me to the ER. Dr there said they suspected blood clots in my lungs. They sent me by ambulance to Reno as they couldn't do anything here in Winnemucca. After all the different scans and tests they found 2 blood clots in my lungs which was putting stress on my heart. I also have a large clot in my right leg which was not the diagnosis I was expecting. Dr. believes the clots in my lungs came from my leg. Hooked me up to IV blood thinner. Doctors determined surgery is not an option. Being treated with meds. Still have a lot of fluid in my feet to get rid of. Just taking it one day at a time. Morris

Hang in there bud, hope they get you straightened out soon.
Best wishes,
CF

Sounds like you caught it in time. Prayers are sent.

Yikes, that's not good to hear, but at least they are aware of them now, and will be watching closely! Take care and hang in there!

We will keep you in our prayers Morris.

Kind of off subject, but just curious. My sister in law has simular prob!ems. Did you get the C-19 shots?
Hope things get resolved and health returns for you.

Very good question bfflobo. I know of friends and associates who have family members who have the same symtoms and problems over the last few years. Coincidential I doubt.

I hope they get you cleared up fast Morris. This getting old is a lot of fun, eh?

Hang tough Mo! Hoping for a quick heal up.

Bfflobo, the one doctor asked my wife if we had any covid shots. The answer is yes, Moderna 1st in Feb, 2nd in March and then the booster. His reply was don't get any more!

Doesn't that just make ya mad? Trust the government agencies and now you're suffering because of it! Hope they get ya fixed up soon and you get to feeling better! Always enjoy reading your articles!

Be happy your just where you belong now. Let the Dr's do what they do and you will be fine. It may take a little time, but recovery is just what it is. Before long this situation will be a past memory and you will have moved forward. Best wishes.

I am no longer in the hospital. Sent home with lasix and
eliquis. Need to go for labs once a week.

Dang that's scary.

Glad they caught it in time

Best wishes on your recovery.

Interesting, my brother and wife both got clots soon after the shots. Both on Elliquis for life and she is taking something else also. Elliquis and the jab manufactured by same company.

Just my guess, no proof of anything: I suspect all the shots were just a test of some kind. Some placebo, some mild, some strong doses. Maybe different ingredients. Under takers are finding fibrous clots, never seen before the jabs. For sure, the jabs never prevented anything.

wishing you well, mocat, I had this happen in June and July of 2024, ended up in hospital for a week, over 100 colts in each lung, plus my heart twice the size it should be, they told me to go home an get things in order, MAN I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT, I went to mayo , and they said the same thing had test in December of 2024 and nothing change, started going to Michigan UOM hospital, in January of 2025, they said the same thing , but in march of 25 I started feeling better, somehow my heart got better, they said no chance of that happing, last test my lungs are getting better, so don't ever give up

Get well soon

I came close to dying and I didn’t know it..
I had blood clots in both my lungs.. I woke up on New Year’s Day feeling like I dislocated a rib..
I didn’t think anything of it..
went to church , came home and tried my best to make myself comfortable as I could. Peg kept telling me to go get looked at… but I kept telling her I was okay… I popped a rib or something..
it was later in the afternoon when it started to get worse.. so , after peg nagged me for the thousandth time.. I went.
The doctor immediately sent me to a ct scan,, he said I think you have a blood clot… and he was right..
Both lungs and there were substantial sized ones…
They immediately started blood thinners and shipped me to a major medical facility 75 miles north…I was in the hospital for a bit…
I still see a blood doctor on a regular basis to keep an eye on my blood.

That quick thinking doctor saved my life…

Sent with prayer. Blood clots moving is serious business. Yes, Paul getting old is a lot of challenges (fun).

You can beat this Mo. Tough old trapper like you will come out on top.
