My hematologist scheduled my follow up CT Scan (Angio Chest) for today to check whether the pulmonary emboli in my lungs had been significantly reduced in size or maybe even dissolved. This would allow him to contact my orthopedic surgeon to finally schedule reconstructive surgery for my ankle.

2013 is already looking very very good. I finally had my visit with the hematologist today to review all of the blood and genetic test results and it couldn't have goner better. Out of literally a dozen tests, none came back with indicators for any blood or genetic disorders that would be the cause for an increased risk of blood clots. It appears my PE and DVTs were caused solely due to my immobility as a result of the ankle injury.

Another title could have been "How an ultra runner was diagnosed with high cholesterol, became a pescetarian, then fractured an ankle and tore a tendon before being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), all in less than seven weeks". If that doesn't give away the content of this "little" blog post, just looking at the label list makes one think of a medical dictionary, from (A)nkle fracture to Blood Clot(z).
