[areellady 1]

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

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.
