Not too much going on the past week. I had the last big vein treatment for what they call a Perculator Veins that connects the big surface vein to the deeper veins. I had two that were kaput and not doing what they were supposed to do. Couldn't use the medical adhesive for these so they do a Radio Frequency Abalation. Only pain was the numbing stick. My left leg has always been more swollen and tender than the right and that is where those two veins are. Later in March I will go back for treatment of a few superficial veins. But overall, I am just over the moon at how much better my legs feel.
We have been watching the spread of the new virus and are more than a little concerned. My immune system seems to be over reactive and together with my Asthma, I fear being able to fight off the virus. We are waiting to see how it develops before we make any more travel plans this year. Meanwhile, lots of hand washing and avoiding crowds when possible! I am thinking if the outbreak continues to get bad here in the US that maybe cloth masks would actually be a good way to go. Since the masks mostly prevent you from touching your face and infecting yourself, a cloth one would do the same thing and would be washable. Plus you could decorate them with all kinds of designs or different animal noses and mouths or smiles or mustaches. Thinking about getting my sewing machine set up and experimenting. Surprised they are not already flooding the market given the lack of mask availability. Cold Front finally arrived in Florida. High 40s and 50s over night but high 60s and 70s in the day. it has been refreshing and funny watching all the down jackets and fleece. Everyone is bundled up when it seems like a sweater is plenty! It will be back to 80s this coming week so I think this was our winter.
