Golden,
Reading books till midnight sometimes as well. so great I can get any book on my reader in seconds, although prefer actual book.
I hope you feeling better, I rely on good tea with honey and lemon, Tylanol and propolis when I start feeling sick. Usually it works. I hope you are feeling better. I had cold for a few days as well.
But my husband was out of hospital yesterday and ended up in hospital tonight again. For now he is sleeping. Will talk to doctor tomorrow, but they are going to admit him again!

((((((Eva)))) So os sorry your hub is back in hospital, but that may be the best place for him right now. I hope this time you will get more answers and him some treatment. Re reading, I prefer the Kindle app on my computer. I've given up on real books totally. I can adjust the font size and have a black background which seems to works best for me. I'm feeling better but still being careful. Never heard of propolis, but looked it up. Very interesting,

AnxietyNacy,

The clips continue to do well when putting on this open to compression socks.

However, I have found that if I let the heal of the sock go completely to my heal, it goes up too high on my lower legs. Man, they must be short. As it says online, don't fold the top of compression socks down. So, the aid that I have to put each sock on with catches the end of the sock out in front. The heal of the sock ends up under the arch of my foot and the socks is completely on at a safe level below my knee. What do I do with what is out front with the clip on it. After taking the clip off, I then fold that part of the sock back onto the front of my foot but below my toes. It is an open toe sock.

Thanks again for the help. It's just taken some experimenting to get this right. ha, ha, I just caught the error of spelling right as write. Happy New Year!

No problem Yoda, 🫂

No whine for me today, 🙂, love decorating for Xmas, but I really love the undecorating even more, maybe. So nice fresh new year, some what clean ( clean enough 😜)

Starting to get really dry inside. Got humidifier going in one room and crockpot on low, without the cover on in the kitchen. Hopefully it will help hubbys leftover cough.

Eva, how is hubby doing?

Yoda, careful with the stockings. If you can get to medical supply store do that as they are great at correct measurements. You are absolutely RIGHT about not folding them down as they act then as a garter, restricting flow, which can cause clotting. Not used properly they are worse than nothing and better just to get those legs elevated above the heart.

Alva or anyone I do have a question about the stockings.

When I had kids developed a vein popping out, bothered me for a few years then never did again. Until I flew in May, I honestly forgot I even had it, then that odd ache came back. Nothing serious, just a little ache. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to wear them the next time I fly?

The way home I sat better and it didn't bother me. Just wondering what anyone thinks.

Eva I have also been thinking of you, and hubby, you are in my thoughts

Anxietynacy,

Properly fitted anti embolism stockings are recommended especially for long flights . As is proper hydration , not crossing your legs . Pumping your feet while sitting to keep blood flowing too .

I also asked my doc about low dose aspirin daily and have taken that starting a few days before a long flight and continued until I returned home .

Thanks way, yes on the way home, that what I did, with much better results, it just really caught me by surprise. I probably will try the stocking, this trip just because I'm sure I should wear them for long trips, might as well get use to them.

Aaaargh - spent most of the day trying to help R with computer ordering issues. Not resolved yet but he has to tend to the colts. He has more troubles with stuff like this than anyone else I know. Not sure why, but he doesn't seem to understand that the details have to fit. Anyway he is out and I am using up my frustration energy cleaning the fridge. He has old outdated long gone cc info on accounts and these are causing a problem with paypal. Oh ,well. There has to be a solution somewhere. meanwhile my fridge is getting cleaned. lol

Golden, That definitely deserves a whine!!

As for hubby, will see... That's what's been so frustrating, I've been here so many times with him. So far I think he is doing well. He hasn't been going out to his garage much at all. 😆

Are we twins? I literally just ordered pizza b/c I'm tired. She also sometimes won't eat the healthy meals either because she's not hungry, or doesn't like it. :/
