Blood thinners like Eliquis and meniscus repair.

I tore my meniscus 12/6. Been home from work since. Went to ER. Went to Orthopedic doctor. Had MRI. It's torn in 2 places. This past Sunday had chest pains. Ended up going to ER. Had a total of 5 pulmonary emboliism. Discharged in time for Christmas. Anyway, still need surgery on knee. Can't work on it like this .On Eliquis now. Had the same thing happen in April. Had ACDF surgery on 3 levels on 4/4/25. Ended up in ER on 4/17/25 with chest pains. Had bilateral PE's. After surgery though. This time, I haven't even had it yet and got them again. How am I going to get my knee fixed? How long, is long enough, said enough, to get off them a few days so my knee can get repaired?
