  That is so scary. How are you now? I had a cousin that had that very same situation. I cannot imagine going through that. I heard it was very painful for her.

  Oh no...I didn't see that about the renal disease or blood clots! Wow. So sad, I just lost a loved one to renal disease.

  David S. This isn't that surprising. Anyone who have a job where they sit a lot could end of with a PE (pulmonary embolism). He was blessed to catch it before it became fatal. Even those who fly a lot should be mindful of this potential problem. You can get the doctor to run a simple blood test such as a D-Dimer and it will tell you if you have any blood clots in your body. Then the doctor would order follow up test to find out exactly where.

I've got blood clots in my legs and it's of a great concern to me all of the time. I have really poor circulation (congenital). I wonder how he got blood clots at his age. I hope that he doesn't have to be on blood thinners for a long time.

  Well, I personally don't think the guy is very talented, so to people like me is "Mariah Carey's husband" regardless though he was pretty cool to my stepbrother when he performed "Big Truckers Aren't Supposed to Cry" on AGT last year so I wish him the best and hope he has a speedy recovery.

I ask God to bless and heal your body right now in the name of Jesus Christ amen. Get some oil, ask God to annoint it. Place your hand on your stomach and your chest. Ask God to make you well and whole. Say it out loud. Thank Him in advance for it. Read bible scripture each day and say 15 minute prayer each day. Listen to faith building messages at church. Make a vow to God that you will keep such as trying to be a better person. If you believe it, say amen!

Maybe its time to seek out some new doctors. Maybe come to Boston and go to Massachusetts General Hospital.
