Geezies MP! Now that I've read the full story, it's scarier than I had imagined. I'm so glad that you are okay and that they caught it before any worse damage was done. Like everyone else has said, the bike and the rides will be there when you're ready. Take the time to recover and do some fun things with petitepois and DH.
Now might be the time for the dancing shirtless bike mechanics.
Hang in there! Just think - now you'll have more time to chit chat here with us

Adding my best wishes for a speedy and full recovery to the large number of well-wishers already posted! So scary to read your story, Sarah. Amazing that you were able to do all that riding with the clots.
Here;s hoping you find lots of fun and interesting ways to keep busy until you can ride again.

Wow Sarah, your experience is a lesson for all of us. I have always worried about DVT when flying - especially long flights, and I have always taken aspirin before a flight as I tend to get excessive edema in my legs. But I was never aware of the DVT risk associated with athletics. If anything, I always assumed exercise would help reduce the risk of DVT. I am glad you are feeling better and were diagnosed in time. If there is any good to come out of all of this, it is the lessons we all have learned. Thank you for sharing and take good care of yourself. Your bike will always be there.
