Last Tuesday, I had laser surgery and had 5 varicose veins removed. [View all]

I had a leg vein ultrasound done and circulation problems were quite evident. I chose the procedure not for cosmetic reasons, but to be proactive as they VVs weren't going away by themselves or if I stopped looking.


My leg is bruised, selectively sore, but the real thing I want to complain about is the compression stocking.

It's difficult to get on and off, usually about 5 minutes. Glad when it's finally on and finally off.

I have to wear it for another 10 days.

And yes, the second leg is going to be done in about a month.
