Just a quick post. Yesterday was my first Endovenous Laser Therapy or EVLT.
Very glad I took the medication first so that I would not stress the several needles. The procedure itself was not bad but.......I hardly slept last night. I was told to take 800mg of Ibuprofen twice each day for discomfort and swelling. Of course I thought I had plenty of Ibuprofen...not so. There was only enough for yesterday afternoon and last night and not the full dosage. If you are saying oh no...I really said more than that. I hardly slept due to the aching and as you can see it is quite swollen and already getting pretty mottled purple shades. I did go out to CVS and now have enough Ibuprofen! Glenda drove me for the appointment and made the next 2 appointments...yes 2 more. Later today the bandages are to be removed but the stocking to remain 24/7 until Saturday then only during the day.
The door bell just rang.....and USPS brought me a big box...
I opened the first box with the #80 then there was the next box with the label and finally the smaller box.
A lovely indoor fountain...there is absolutely no card, name or any other information as to who sent it. My birthday is tomorrow so we can guess it is a birthday gift...but who sent this ? ! ?
In the meantime, I will be sure to follow the doctor's instructions to take 2 30 minute walks daily, ice and plenty of fluids. Right now I am hungry so time to eat.
Thank you for the nice emails wishing me luck with the leg
procedure....thank goodness for medication that made me not care at the time....thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
