  • My grandma had hip surgery because she was pushed at a halloween festival by little kids. She had a heart transplant to begin with. Anyway my grandma got a blood clot in her lungs which caused her transplanted heart to stop. She was afraid to get up and wall because of fear. She was put on life support abs after 2 days she passed away. I recommend if you had surgery, your obese, pregnant, or had cancer please keep active!! I look forward to being a doctor when I get older.

  • Birth control pills give me blood clots.
