Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was 26, and in 1978, I worked selling Oldsmobiles and Hondas at a car dealership in Grand Rapids, Michigan. One night, I went to a nightclub with some friends. My left leg was swollen and painful, so I went to see a doctor. He diagnosed me with thrombophlebitis, a blood clot deep within the calf of the leg. #2 I had a friend named Jennifer who came over to help me take care of myself. I had been sitting on the sofa all day watching TV, and the pain continued for several days. One morning, it woke me up around 5 a. m. It felt like my leg was going to explode every time my heart beat.
