I’m thrilled to hear of such a bizarre, but ultimately benign, cause to your issues. A big thumbs up.
So is the plan daily aspirin for prevention?
Daily aspirin and a statin drug.
Aspirin works on clotting.
Statin/Lipitor has a side effect of making artery/vein walls more elastic to keep clots from getting stuck,

Followup visit to the Cardiovascular Staff early in the morning.
Nurse takes my blood pressure… frowns.
Retakes my blood pressure.
“Your blood pressure is 120/75… That’s really good…”
Advises me the Nurse Practitioner will be in shortly.
NP: Are you suffering from any dizziness, shortness of breath?
Me: No.
NP: Any vision issues?
Me: No.
NP: Any feelings of weakness?
Me. Well, I should have gotten two more reps out last night benching 200 lbs.

Skills Camp - 1 hour
Right knee was a lot better then Saturday. Still not that confident on it,was able to go about 75%.
We finished with a Herbie. I just focused on getting in long strides.
Ice the knee down afterwards.

Right knee still 70-75%. Still was able to pressure a couple of the younger guys and make them miss.
Had one good breakaway, tried to aim inside post but still drilled the goalie on the shot.
The goalie’s chest is always faster then what you can shoot, lol.

Apparently I need to have another hospital incident or tales of debauchery to get replies to my log…
All I have today is bacon pancakes.

League game 1 hour
Lost 0-3. Knee still an issue.
I had one good chance for a one-timer maybe 10 feet from the net but I caught the puck with the heel of the stick blade and shanked the shot.
Jeez you referees get all the fun. Ah wow your ‘baby’. So looks like you are doing well, I won’t worry about you (for now).
Awwww man! If you’re not careful, they’re going to put you back on the bench as cheerleader.
That’s Harsh.
I took one for the team, blocked a puck with my groin when the other team tried to clear it out of their end.
Fortunately the Shock Doctor gear works as advertised.
Thank God for small miracles…lol. But, a squeaky voice may have helped with cheerleading…
Sorry, but you left yourself wide open for that one!
You know know we are rooting for ya.

Those pancakes were exciting to me on a sexual level…
And how exactly does a person in the US get so enraptured with hockey anyway? You aren’t Canadian, are you?

No. Although I have been in Canada twice.
Kids started playing it and then I decided to give it a try.
