We're putting more rock down to cover our parkway. The neighbor came over and offered up about 4 wheelbarrows' worth of rocks and flagstone. I got two of them across the street, but I'm waiting for one of my sons to get home from work to move the rest. She wants them gone, and doesn't want any money. I'll do something nice, though. It's about $200 worth of rocks. I'm getting too old (68) for that sort of heavy lifting. I used to be able to do it all day long. I'm sitting here with a back brace on waiting for the naproxen to kick in so I can go get a shower.

no shit.

getting old is no joke and im only 64. i dislocated my knee in the summer falling down on my daughters little motorcycle, and now my knee bends in too many directions to trust.

lll calmly turn to walk in one direction but the lower leg doesnt follow the action. not happy with that.

i keep hoping for the tendonz to tighten up but they dont have the elazticity any more

Just be patient. Tendons take ages to recover.

Another thing is that I am getting poorer circulation in my legs. There is some freckling from stuff that doesn't make it back up my legs. The doctor told me to put my feet up during the day. I forgot to ask how often and what duration. I don't have the time to sit with my feet up, I have shit to do!

wear pantyhose

  :thoughtful:  no

Don't be such a wuss! I use hair spray to keep what little hair I have left in line. You'd wear flight socks and pantyhose just does the same job. Don't be a clot or you'll get a clot. :)

Tank, I have it on good authority that those safety fishnet stockings you wear in your workshop are quite becoming.

cease thiz untoward levity

panyhose are well known tools to keep your leg circulation going. the arteries and gravity force the blood down there and the pantyhose comprezz the veins enough that their elazticity is restricted and normal  skeletal movement pumps blood back up rather than just inflating the vein.

if you all can be nice ill model some of my own for you.  i dont shave my legs tho

.aybe ill show my wardrobe of lace up victorian corsets in XXL

Both my mother and sister have a rather serious case of varicose veins but refuse to wear a pantyhose despite the doctor's recommendation. ::) My sister has had that problem since she hit puberty and both have undergone a number of operations to improve blood circulation in their legs. Why not just wear the pantyhose? Is it really that uncomfortable?

Joe Namath wore pantyhose in cold games.  To my knowledge, he doesn't have varicose veins.  Can't argue with Broadway Joe.
