I HAD DR APPT TUES AT 1PM BUT CALLED THE AMBULANCE AT 5AM. THE ER DOC IMMEDIATELY ORDERED A CAT SCAN WHICH SHOWED SEVERAL CLOTS IN MY RIGHT LUNG AND A FEW IN MY LEFT. I WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY DR HAD ULTRASOUND DONE ON MY LEGS AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD A CLOT IN MY LFT LEFT BEHIND MY KNEE - NO SWELLING REDNESS OR HEAT. HE SAID THE SMALL CLOTS IN MY LUNGS WERE MOST LIKELY FLOATERS WHICH BROKE OFF OF THE MAIN CLOT.
