I remember "Meet the Press" even as a child, but it was almost never
watched in our home, nor in mine presently. I do not like TV news-related
programming.

Ed, I'm so sorry to hear that.

My doctor recommends wearing compresion hose on long airline flights.
Supposedly this helps prevent deep-vein thrombosis.

Pulmonary means the lungs, idiot. Cardiac means heart. A pulmonary
embolism is a blood clot that blocks the major arteries and or veins to the
lungs.

Sweetie,

No worries mate, we're still buds!

You did NOTHING wrong, and I didn't mean to single you out in that last
statement....just meant in general I only see Shel's crap if it's quoted by
others. If anything it was a healthy reminder to keep that piece of trash in
my looney bin.

Please don't take anything he says to heart.I'd love to see him take the
attitude that he exhibits in this forum onto the streets IRL, somebody would
put out his lights in 10 minutes or less. It's sooo easy to sit behind a
keyboard and be a bully, but as know, a bully is just a coward at heart.

NPR / PRI / BBC radio is a great source. I used to watch Meet the
Press when I was a kid (I know, nerdy), but now I spend 30+ hours a
week listening to public radio. My favorite hour is NPR's Wait, Wait,
Don't Tell Me. PRI's Marketplace is also excellent. I haven't seen
10 hours of TV news in the past 10 years.

I actually like Public Radio, too. It's the only radio station my husband

No, those emboli originate elsewhere. Take a gander at the route blood
takes in the body.
Right atrium to right ventricle
Right ventricle to Pulmonary (lungs)
Lungs to left atrium
Left atrium to left ventricle
Left ventricle to body via arteries both up to the brain and down
into the body below, as well as feeding the heart itself via coronary
arteries. Sometimes clots will develop in the heart because of
ineffective atrial beat (Such as a pt with A-fib) that allow blood to
remain in the atrium when it shouldn't, and those clots can go up to the
brain and can cause of an ischemic stroke. This is why patients with a
diagnosis of Atrium Fibrillation are put on blood thinners.
Venous return brings the "used" blood up to the right ventricle again
to start the circuit again. When the venous blood has pooled in the
lower extremities (or occasionally in the upper too) it gets thick and
sticky. The clot can form inside the vein at that point. Something
causes the clot to dislodge and when it goes up into the heart and then
into the lungs and it is too large to pass it occludes the circuit.
All hell breaks out.
A GREAT many people die of these, yet some survive.
Those that survive with live on blood thinners for a long, long time
afterwards. It is felt that all of us survive micro-emboli all the time.
It is the big honkin' clots that kill us.

We switched from WFLA to WUSF during the jingoistic, dogshit
patriotism that accompanied the first Gulf War. If I never hear "I'm
Proud to Be an Amurrrican" again, it will be too soon.

When we moved back to St. Louis, one of the first things I did was to
locate the NPR affiliate on our radio.

It is an attempt to help the venous return up to the heart again, rather
than pooling in the legs. You'll see little old ladies (and nurses with
brains!) wearing combat quality support stockings because being on your
feet or sitting stuck in an airplane seat for extended periods wreaks
havoc on venous return. We put them on patients in the hospital too.

I wear Jobst Toes support knee highs under my scrubs. They cost $50 a
pair, and are worth every penny! I don't come home with achy, swollen
feet from being on my feet for 14 hours...

Yet our dear airline companies are making our spaces smaller instead

Okay, I'm with you. A clot formed in the venous system might
make it through the right side of the heart to the lungs,
but no further.

Thanks for the anatomy lesson.

Plus the new checked-baggage fees will mean many more passengers will
have a bagged stuffed under the seat in front of them, further
cramping their legs.

Yes, it does. There are varying degrees of compression per pair of hose,
and the compression varies from foot to top. If you plan to wear them on a
regular basis, you should have your doctor recommend what degree of
compression you should wear.

Then I would highly recommend them for that. Degree of compression would
not be as critical for occasional use. I bought the compression level just
below the really heavy duty ones. The worst part is just getting them on.

Tim is on the right. I believe it is Tim's son on the left and his
father in the center.

I always thought he was younger- not enough gray hairs for all the
years. He truly loved his job- that was evident, so maybe that's why I
think he looked younger.

Did you get the donning gloves? It makes easier work of it. Also, Roll
the stocking up on your hands, turning the foot mostly inside-out. Slip
your toes in and then stroke the stocking up the leg with the gloved hands.

Janet, I've never seen or heard of the donning gloves over here, but I'm
sure that would help. I will definitely try rolling the stocking, though.
I hadn't thought of it, but it sounds like it would make it far easier.

Thanks!

Heh... I was in the Oregon State NROTC unit in the late 1980s. One of our
midshipmen had a fine singing voice, so he was asked to sing that song for
some kind of assembly. Problem was, he didn't know the words. So I typed up
a *******IZED version of lyrics for him to sing: I didn't change all that
much, but in the *******ized version I remember writing, "I won't forget
that Jesus died to keep our nation free." I implied that Nova Scotia and the
Bahamas were part of the USA. I also had something there about "from Maine
to New York" accompanied with "defending lobsters and our pork."

As far as I could tell, nobody ever knew the difference.

http://www.metromedicalonline.com/juzo9300.html I don't know what prices
are like where you are, but I can save 1/3 to 1/2 by shopping with these
folks. Anything over $50? $60 ? and shipping is free. I placed an order on
a Friday afternoon and it was on my doorstep Monday afternoon. I tried
getting gloves that I thought would do the job, something like the
Rubbermaid that you use to do dishes and a bunch of different kinds. They
didn't work. These gloves are sort of tacky on the outside so that when you
stroke upward on the leg, the gloves drag the stocking along (and evenly).
I have to wear the stockings every day due to surgery removing a lot of
lymph nodes, and a pair of gloves lasts me about a year. Eventually the
fingers of the gloves wear through from the friction.

Thanks for the site, Janet. The prices for knee-highs are definitely lower
than what I pay locally. Also, for the hint on the donning gloves. I've
bookmarked the site for ordering.

Thanks again...
