Trips
Now that I am back to work full-time, I'm starting to do business trips. I've been hesistant to do any long-term traveling in all, as I still do not have the edema in my legs under total control. One bad day, and my entire week could be thrown off. So when I go, I am very careful, and try to make sure I don't eat things high in sodium. Just one slice of pizza can stop my water pills from working. Essentially I eat fruit and salads, which is healthy -- but I swear I'm starting to turn into a rabbit.
To help combat the edema during the trips, I've purchased a couple pairs of Futuro T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings. Unlike the other stockings I got earlier in the year, the Futuros are closed toe and come in different colors. Because of their modified fabric, they feel more of a sock than a stocking, and at a glance, a black one could pass as a dress sock. They are also more comfortable.
Off to finish packing. I'm flying to Ft. Lauderdale for a vendor conference later today.
