Andrea's CKI (and other) Stuff

Leg Up

Well, its official. Andrea will be having surgery on her
right leg on October 21st. I have been having tons of
problems with circulation and lots of pain and swelling in
my right leg for about 6 months, so I went to go see if
any of it had to do with my vein that always hurts and
throbs. So I had an ultrasound last week, and I went and
met with my doctor today. Apparently the valves in my vein
aren't working correctly, so I am going to have a closure
procedure on October 21st. Basically they will heat my
vein to the point where the walls close together
permanently and then the blood will go through other veins
in my legs instead of the diseased vein. Then after about
a day or so I will be able to go about my normal activity
and should be able to get back to working out every day
(which I haven't been able to do in almost 5 months
because of the pain) in about a week. I am REALLY looking
forward to this procedure and getting back to everything.
So please say a prayer for me on October 21st!!!

Other than that, I am working on my lab for next week so
that I won't have to worry about it this weekend :P

On a sidenote, B: I got your voicemail...
1) He's an ass
2) If you can call me after 10pm, I would love you
forever!!! :) Not that I won't already, but... you know! :)
