Hi Marty,

Sorry so long getting back.

It started about three weeks ago with a sore leg, I thought I had pulled a muscle or maybe it could have been sciatica. A week after that, I was palying tennis (and was 5 - 0 up, so doing very well) when I just couldn't get my breath. I gave up and walked up a slight incline to my car and was puffed out when I got to it. The next day I went to my GP and he put the leg thing and the puffy thing together and sent me to A & E. They diagnosed Pulmunory Embolism brought about by DVT and a clot dislogging and hitting my lungs. I have since called my AME who has informed the CAA and they have now grounded me until the facts of my treatment, and an idea of what caused it can be established.
