A retired NYU professor who did work on substance abuse with prison populations, advocated for third (and fourth) careers for the 50-and-above population, was a strong Clinton supporter and part of a circle of neighborhood friends who got together regularly to drink good wine and pontificate on life. Went in to the Hospital for a routine hip replacement and got a 1% probability blood clot. Going to be hard to digest on top of everything else.

Please keep your circle of neIghborhood friends going. You're going to need each other more than ever.

Many times I wanted to just quit them!
Your post made me realize the importance of those blood thinners
I thank you for your post and wish you the most sincere condolences for your friend.

Godspeed, Harry.
