Re: fly time after surgery

[Guest guest]

It's about clotting (a type of thrombosis or thrombo-embolism if I

remember correctly) from the poor circulation in the legs which

results from being in a cramped airline seat for too long a time,

which obviously comes into play during trans-oceanic flights. I've

been strategizing and think if one reclines as much as possible and

makes an effort to get up and stretch and walk about each hour or

half-hour, perhaps that would help. Another wrenching Q for me

Do I want to take my " donut " along as my designated carry-on?

Yikes.

Surely there must be some elegant solution just waiting to be

discovered---Maybe an inflatable one!?! I'm not much of an

inventor although I'm forever doing my Ralph Cramden-like get-rich-

quick musings. I've got a lot of refining before that one is market-

ready, me-thinks... However maybe someday I'll share my idea for a

new type of surgery for osteonecrosis that I have put onto paper and

recorded it at the public notary only to find out later that patents

on surgical procedures on some continents are dicouraged although any

new and necessary tools to perform surgeries are highly patentable.

Health!
