In 2000 I shattered my leg, and from that I developed blood clots that filled my entire right leg, and then got into my lungs, where a clot managed to kill a piece of my lung. It took 7 days of hospitalization to clear it up the clots. Then they had to get the screw out of my leg after they put in a plate and 15 screws, well to do that they had to take me off the blood thining medicine, and guess what happened when they did that, the clots came back worse, this time my the arteries from my heart to my lungs were almost completely closed off, so back on bed rest and another stay of 10 days to get rid of the clots. In a matter of months I would get diagnosed with Testicular Cancer, have my left testi removed and then have to due radiation treatments. Then I was hit with what they called a heart attack, some how after I had just gotten doen with playing 80 mintues of rugby, I still think it was the Philly Steak sandwiches and the beer. But they scoped me about every which way they could, the only thing they found was a clot in my heart. The worst part was when I was sitting in the hospital and the Dr. comes in and says "good to still have you with us" and you realize that he is not joking.
