Thank you for your comments.You help to keep me inspired. I try to stay in the moment and no worry about my platelets!♥️
I am glad you are taking aspirin, and have no other significant health issues. Clots are a common concern for sure. I was what I considered healthy, exercising at the gym 3-5 times a week, playing golf in the summer, kayaking at the cottage, etc., etc. But then without notice I had a small stroke as a result of a 'humungous' blood clot in my carotid. It was only after this that I found out I had ET (MPL mutation) so just a little warning for you.
I am grateful the stroke left no significant after effects.
