2dreamkrazii 34 Posted January 22, 2013 No I took the permanent option it just sounds better to always have that protection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted January 22, 2013 No I took the permanent option it just sounds better to always have that protection OK. Thanks! I had never heard of that. My doc always put these inflaters on my legs that inflate and deflate all night. They are supposed to help with clots. I'm a light sleeper so I didn't get much shut-eye during hospital stays. When I got my gall bladder out and got my sleeve, though, the morphine made it so I could sleep anyway. Three more days! Prayers and good wishes for you!
