Hi, Rick ~

I've read but not posted on this thread - up until now but this seems like the right time to do so.

I was pleased to learn of your successful AN surgery and, up until now, excellent recovery.  Blood clots can happen and I'm sorry this happened to you.  Do what you have to do to get past this obstacle and try to get back to your otherwise good recovery.  Remember that this set-back, as unwanted and unpleasant as it is, will be temporary.  Once you're healed and whole, it will be forgotten, as most negative experiences are.  So, try not to allow this to overwhelm you and know that lots of folks you've never met are praying for you, now.

Hi Rick .....

What a bummer to have the blood clot show up after such a good post-op recovery in progress!!  I hope you know these things can happen, but as Jim said, it is temporary and soon you will be back on the positive road to recovery.

Many, many thoughts and prayers that it dissolves quickly and you will soon feel better.

Hi Rick, I just wanted to say that I sent a prayer for the desire that your recovery gets back on the better path soon.  You have a great mind and with that, you have a lot going for your recovery!
