Blood clots can be deadly.

I know.

Thanksgiving night of 2011 I was admitted to the emergency room for pulmonary emboli. That means I had many blood clots in my lungs and would have died without immediate attention.

They started in my legs as deep vein thrombosis and went through my heart and settled in my lungs. I spent 8 days in ICU. Paying off the bill a little bit at a time.

Best wishes to Madame Secretary!
