I recently had a hysterectomy and unfortunately developed some small blood clots that went to my lung and I’m on Eliquis blood thinner. I’m very worried about what to do and what not to do as I am healing over the next few months and would like some input. Foods to eat and not to eat. Is alcohol OK in moderation or should be avoided completely? My family had planned a trip to fly for spring break in four weeks however we’ve decided not to fly and are considering driving 10 hours to Florida and hopping on a cruise ship. Obviously we’d have to break that drive up and drive it in two days. And I’d have to get out and stretch legs every hour. Is that smart or should we cancel trip? I’m also worried I could possibly have other clots in my leg and I’m wondering if compression tights are helpful or is the blood thinner doing its job? Lots of questions and just seeking some advice. Thanks!
