I just got off the phone with my aunt. She’s older and her mind isn’t all there so I get limited info. I learned my cousin (her daughter) has been in a major hospital for 2 weeks(!) due to blood clots in her heart that they found because she had “holes in her leg.” My cousin is in her 40s and she had Covid a couple of months ago. We haven’t seen each other in decades as life has taken us down different paths once I left home, so I’m not sure I should be calling her now - nor do I have her phone number TBH.
At the moment med school lad isn’t available for me to ask him, nor does my aunt know much more other than she’s on blood thinners, etc. Any likelihood these two are related or how often do 40 somethings get blood clots in their heart?
And my aunt now has two tumors near her right ear causing problems. She’s had brain tumors before. If she had Covid when my uncle likely died from it (she had the “cold” first), I can’t help but wonder if that’s related too. She’ll be having an MRI soon.
Not the Happy Easter call I was expecting.
