Surgically removed I'm assuming? How did they get in to get it?

Holy crap! I had a blood clot near the edge of my lung after I broke my leg and was very low mobility for the first couple of weeks due to lack of pain management. The doctors said it travelled from my leg up through my bloodstream where it sat near my lung making breathing difficult. Seeing one this size is insane.

Dude I'm not gonna lie Im a little drunk and I hang out on various vinyl record subs and I thought this was a post from one of those subs and I thought God damn must be some crazy rare record to be wearing nitrile gloves while handling it. Looked up pulmonary embolism on Spotify expecting a deeply emotional album that would almost 'take me out' before I realized I was in fact not looking at a vinyl jacket in the pic. Glad you're ok.
