It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.

Looks like Zsa Zsa has joined the blood clot family:

I'd be curious to know what kind of "surgery" she had to fix the clot. If anyone has more details, please post!

Considering her age, I can't believe she even survived the hip surgery.

Anyway, about the blood clot, I wonder if they're reporting this wrong. Maybe she's just back in the hospital to treat the clot. If she did have surgery to remove the clot, I would think it would have to be pretty serious to operate again on someone that age. I'd be curious to see exactly what they performed on her.

According to a report they say she had a 2 hour operation to remove the blood clot in her leg but not elaborating on which procedure she had. Her doctors said it was a fairly routine procedure and that it wasn't something to panic over! I would panic if it were my mother at 93.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
