Ultrasound reveals large clot

I had the ultrasound on my leg today. The blood clot goes from my knee to groin. It sounds huge, but I guess this is not unusual. My doctor thinks I should get a Vena Cava filter put in. They would insert the filter above the clot, so it could catch anything that breaks off. I already have two pieces in my lungs already, so it's a good idea.

I am going to call in the morning to schedule. My doctor thinks they might be able to get me in Friday. I am only mildly terrified to have this done. You are awake for the procedure, and they access the vein through your groin. In the meantime every one is telling me to "take it easy".
