I got a shot of heparin in my gut (not IV) everyday while in hospital for a recent crisis. I also used heparin years ago to clean out the port when I was dealing with an antibiotic infection. I asked why the local shot in the gut, and was told it is to avoid deep vein thrombosis. Said it was the equivalent of a baby aspirin. Didn't have a reaction either time. Jim
