Hey dianavan, glad to hear you're Ok and responding well to treatment.

My wife had a DVT in her shoulder six years ago, at the age of 24 (that's twenty-four!). She faced her fear (and mine) by not allowing it to take charge or to daunt her incredible sense of humour, and she joked her way through the hospital stay, the heparin, the warfarin, the painful operation to remove the rib that had pinched the vein and caused the clot, and the six-inch scar above the left breast that's there for ever. She laughed through it all. She's my heroine.

Best wishes gal, for a full recovery.
