25. She needs to be in the hospital longer

Dec 2012

The blood must have come from a small rupture in a vein in the brain. If the vein has healed, that's good. But if the vein is plugged by some blood clots, the blood thinners will cause circulating blood to desorb the clot and cause more bleeding.

I'm on blood thinners, and early on, had to deal with some terrible side effects in the form of heavy bleeding. Warfarin and heparin are life-saving medications, but can also cause a lot of problems with uncontrollable bleeding.

This is not the first time she's had a clot. In her book, she mentioned having one below the knee. I hope she gets tested for blood clotting disorders.
