Just Been To The Funeral

of a cousins husband.
Died of a blood clot.

Seems as though that there are a lot of blood clot relatated diseases around recently.
Strokes, heart attacks etc....

[Canary42]

As a recent victim of a blood clot on the brain (non-fatal but TIA bans me permanently from driving) I thank you for your gloomy post.

You must be great fun at parties.

//Sorry, nailit. Cross posted. I’ve just seen you post saying this isn’t about vaccines//
Others jumped on the same bandwagon as well ;-)

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, do you have stats that confirm there are now more cases than before?

[Lie-in King]

I can't comment on the main thrust of the OP, but I do offer you my condolences, Nailit.

[naomi24]

Do you know what caused it, canary?

//You must be great fun at parties.//
Non at all.
Came straight home after the service and gave the wake a miss.
Much prefer to get p1$$ed by myself with my memories,

i this heat too it is essential to drink water often ,de-hydration is a big killer it causes hearts to be stressed out because the blood is more difficult to pump round it killed my dad (76 ) in the hot year of 1976

I slipped off a step ladder in March and ended up with a large clot in my abdomen. Never had one before . Both the practice nurse and the nurse at the DVT team at the hospital said that they were seeing far more people than ever with blood clots..

Yes, and it could happen to anyone. But we have to carry on and not worry about what might happen!.

//I just follow the stats.//
I like stats, my business runs on them...i'd be interested to see the stats your following if you have any on this topic to see if they support your comment "Seems as though that there are a lot of blood clot relatated diseases around recently."

Not to make light of the situation but, there are an awful lot of bloody clots about too.

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbinwales, as Nailit said he 'followed the stats', I asked earlier if he had any figures. I'm hoping he'll get back to me (and you, now).

I have no idea if there really has been an increase in blood clots but if there has then I could suggest a layman's reason (ie I have no idea why based on knowledge) and that is vast numbers of people have spent vast numbers of hours shut in on the sofa rather than out commuting and working in the last couple of years.

You must have a fairly close family Nailit - I don't know any of my (6) cousins or their spouses!
