I talked to my sister for a while on the phone today and she says they're both disposed towards this sort of thing. Both of them have had minor, non-life threatening blood clots in their legs before (which I actually didn't know), but it's still a major coincidence. No doctor reports suggest anything that they've been doing/eating/whatever that could explain it happening for both.

Thanks and yeah, bit of a scare. It's been really hard on his parents. They lose one son who had been hospitalized with a blood clot, then a couple weeks later, they get the exact same news about their second son, having been hospitalized in for the same reason. They can only have been fearing the worst.

I had no idea that was dangerous - and that's probably true of many. I imagine the pill bottles carry a warning, I guess, but people never read that stuff. Good thing she survived. Sounds like a very close call.
