Ron,
It does seem that having lower than average platelets would lessen the chances of blood clots, but that's not the only factor involved. Risk factors for clots include slow blood flow, excess substances in the blood, injuries, age, weight, and of course certain black marks in your medical history. Even being tall is considered to be a risk factor for blood clots! Perhaps your platelet level kept a clot from forming sooner.
In any case, the issue now is how to take care of it. What is the treatment plan?
