I was younger obviously (40s) and had a clot connected to birth control. A bad one that put pressure on the right side of my heart. I was in critical condition but came out of the procedure well (they used a clot buster on that one because it was actually called PE at that point). I am going to hope your clot is stabilized and perhaps that will even help with other issues you're having. We need you to pull through this and see our first female president take the oath of office! Hugs.
