Some years ago, the old war injuries started to create blood clots, They finished up in my lungs with what is known as.... Multiple Pulmonary embolism. Hundreds if blood clots in the lungs. Nearly died, had a near death experience.

I need a new hip, but got no chance. Would never survive it. Been on anticoagulant treatment (warfarin) Rat poison! for 36 years. Will stay on it until I pop my clogs!

The war may have done many years ago, the effects last much longer.
