For a blood clot to the conditions stemming from a concussion that she sustained earlier this month.

And joining us now doctor -- -- he's achieved division of robotics sat at mount Sinai hospital and a fox used medical eighteen -- thank you so much for joining us.

So and what I said there an introduction just about all we know because a lot of information not being released about this.

Can you kind of fill in the blanks sports where could or would this blood -- clot possibly be located.

Boy it's a pleasure first of all let me just say that I have not been in touch with her doctors and as you mentioned -- -- is not a lot of information.

That's because the blood -- to somewhat get back to to the heart.

And moving around and putting those compression stockings is a way to prevent this book plus she travels a lot you probably was -- -- a lot of stress.

Dehydrated all of that has resulted in this -- But I think we should wait until we get some more information about the exact location of this -- -- what will the recovery be like.
