His wife Kerry posted on facebook this morning that he is doing better and that the swelling in his leg has gone down some. That is a positive. Do it to it dude, get out of there before you catch something:) Bebop

Hi Nigel,
just in case you didn't spot my best wishes in one of the other threads,
GET WELL SOON.

My best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery for you Nigel.

Elizabeth,

The blood clots usually originate in the veins of the legs, often caused by thrombophlebitis, then they break loose, enter the right side of the heart through the right atrium, pass into the right ventricle, then flow into the pulmonary artery where they lodge and block blood-flow to the left side of the heart. This is an extremely dangerous condition that frequently requires extensive surgery and constant monitoring.

If caught in the early stages, anticoagulants are used to dissolve the clots and the patient is put on total bed rest for several days while being monitored.
