No, bleeding and they couldn’t tell me, said, “this is one for the textbooks”. But to watch for bleeding and tell them if I need an any procedures. I wonder if it will correct itself? They didn’t want me to go to Florida for the winter because I live near the Cleveland clinic in Cleveland.

I don’t understand why you can’t travel to Florida. If you’re not having any ongoing issues, all your other bloodwork is fine and don’t require treatment except if you have surgery, you should be able to travel. This doesn’t sound like an condition where you have to live in fear.

There are plenty of medical facilities in FL who accept out of town patients. I go to a clinic near where we stay in FL. They have a walk-in lab when I need blood work. My doctor at Mayo sends orders via my portal, I print out the orders and take it to the lab. There’s never an issue. Is this something that might work for you?
