1. You must take some blood thinners esp ASA (Aspirin)before the flight
2. NO ONE!! No human Being should be encouraged to take long flights after 75 years of age especially if they are sitting down !

DVT kills, when coupled with Diabetes and Subdural hematoma- you can manage that at home but flying to India adds more risks

The EKG’s in Kenya must be functional, the hospitals must be functional. It’s Absolutely UNSAFE, to use air travel at 80yrs and DVT diagnosis

For an 80-year-old with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), flying poses significant risks and is considered unsafe without a doctor’s clearance. A medical professional must evaluate the individual’s specific health condition and the stability of their DVT before approving any air travel.

The primary danger is that the prolonged immobility and lower cabin pressure during a flight can cause the blood clot to grow or break free. If the clot travels to the lungs, it can cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE).

At 80 years old, the risk of developing a blood clot is significantly higher than for a younger person, amplifying these risks.

Baba also had **** Another issue in clotting
A subdural hematoma: Collection of blood or clotting of the blood between the brain and the dura meter -This is also dangerous

My point: No one with these conditions ought to be living the kind of lifestyle he was living especially taking long flights. The above are comorbidities that could or can be managed in Kenya without risking an old person’s health. At 75 stay still as much as possible.
