areellady 1 Posted May 4, 2007 Hi all, does anyone else out there have to wear ted hose for 6 weeks?????????????? I am getting sick and tired of these damn things...its been two weeks and I am not really sure I can take much more...and then the spirometer? Again they want me sucking on that for 6 weeks...I am walking 2 miles a day so I havent been doing that anymore I think my lungs are doing great!! Just wanted to know if anyone else were required to do these things? Deanna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzzzie. 3 Posted May 6, 2007 Hi. As a nurse, I can totally understand WHY they want the TEDS and the IS...but I can't say I would like it either. As long as you are moving adequately, I would think it would be OK to discontinue their use... BUT don't take MY word for it!! Call your doc and see what he/she says about it.
