It's National Thrombosis week!


PLEASE make yourself aware of the signs and symptoms, in particular if you're pregnant or recently given birth, if you've recently had surgery or a long hospital stay, or you're less mobile than usual. It. Can. Kill.


I was lucky enough to have survived a knee-to-navel DVT but I've been left with lifelong issues and I'm on anticoagulants for life. I didn't think it would happen to me as mine occurred during a hospital stay. I assumed that any necessary preventative measures would be carried out but they weren't. I wasn't risk-assessed. I wasn't given stockings. I wasn't given heparin injections. Take nothing for granted.
