Abnormal

According to my Vascular Surgeon, tests have shown that I have a 'slight abnormality' in Factor V Leiden which is one of the eight genetic clotting factors. This little bugger doesn't appear too serious on it's own, but in the presence of oral contraceptives (check), surgery (okay, a while ago on that area, but check), and physical abnormalities (uh, an extra rib? check) it can cause clotting (yes, I could have told you that).

So what does all this mean? Well, I will have to see a Hemotologist, and then I'll know more.
