Deep Vein Thrombosis / Long Flights and Drives

[chuck 249]

 Who is to stay (other than a coroner) wether or not DVT was a contributing
factor in the deaths of Michael Burks and Duck Dunn.  Fact is they both
died after long, and frequent, trans continental flights.

If you fly, or drive, long distances the following links
may help you see next Mothers Day.

Ames Walker Compression Socks
I haven't tried them myself, but I am getting ready to.  I just finished
driving 24 hrs in two days. Btw, I can recommend the Orthofeet shoes. I am
on my 5 or 6th pair. Oder them through Ames Walker and they come with some
really nice insoles.
