An update to this, since I had updated my bike thread and kinda forgot about this one.
I was taken off the blood thinners a few days ago, my last ultrasound showed no real clots left in either leg (there is some "thread-like" tissues in my left leg vein which is supposedly not harmful) and the CAT scan showed both lungs to be clear.
I'm glad to be off the thinners, as they do have side effects (fatigue, muscle aches, etc.) but I am a bit nervous at the same time. I will need to be careful to watch for any other signs of clots or other problems.
My doctor has me on the "aspirin regimen" as a precaution.
Thanks again to everyone here who has shared their concern.
