I do hope you are doing better now. I'm with you on surgeries as I'm due for 22nd one on the 24th this month. Shoulder replacement surgery.. Still dot really know what has caused my several strokes. They though have found I have an autoimmune blood issue that does cause blood clots.. Maybe thats it and not my Connective Tissue disease.. who nows. Life is an adventure for sure!! Good luck to you!!
