                        I am having neck surgery next Tuesday and have a history of blood clots, pulmonary embolism, rheumatoid arthritis and low potassium.  I had a similar surgery to my neck 10 years ago, but that was before I developed blood clots.  At that time I was only in for 3 days, any idea of how long I will be in the hospital?  I am hearing it could be around 10 days.
