Yup that's it. Those dirty ....... have to go. Found out I have a blood clot in my right leg and the Doc said smoking basically has to stop now so I got my work cut out. He didn't seem worried about the thought of vaping so that's good, we (my parents and I) told him and a nurse that I do smoke (about 4 or 5 cigs a day now) and use an electronic cigarette the rest of the time.
I'm thinking this came about from when I was fishing about a week and a half ago and stepped into a hole I didn't see and pulled my leg pretty bad. Swelling showed a few days later (now about twice as big as normal) and at the encouragement of my Mom and myself, went in to the Doc to make sure I didn't tear anything. Turned out to be a little worse than a simple tear. So here I am 25 years old taking a blood thinner, giving myself 2 shots a day and praying each day that no complications arise. Just the thought of this being a life-threatening issue is quite a burden for someone my age. Fortunately both my general physician and the hematologist seem to think there shouldn't be any pieces breaking off of it but the possibility is always there. I felt totally out of place at the hematologist's office, mainly people 65+ in there and here is who is basically a kid sitting in there among them. The Doc told me there could be a number of reasons for this happening but with there being no real history in either my Mom's side of the family or my Dad's we just have to wait and see what the blood tests and more x-rays and CT scans along with whatever else reveals.
Didn't think I'd be cherishing every morning I wake up at my age, but something like this really makes you realize there are more important things in life that money simply cannot buy.

Still a little unsettling but hearing them talk and it sounding like it isn't immediate life-threatening sure made me a little more at ease. He was asking me if I had any pains anywhere, painful breathing, pain in chest and I told him "nope, feel totally normal outside of a leg that's swelled up twice as big as normal."
