I forgot to ask the very impressive Dr. B a couple things at the appointment so, at his nurse's suggestion, sent him an e-mail with these three questions: 1) How long do I wear the stockings? All day except when sleeping? 2) Based on what you saw from the ultrasounds, what is the status of the clots in my legs? 3) How long would you recommend I wait before taking a short (2 hrs) and long (5 plus hours) plane trip?
He replied: "stockings during day, not at nite. i would avoid airplanes, they tend to make clots. clots are improved and flow better but still present." So I'll be wearing the stockings the rest of my life and never fly again? Hmmm...one question answered out of three. Will have to pursue with Dr. M., who will get the results of this referral.
