You all are so sweet with your encouraging words. I'm calm and eager to get it done but I'm also very nervous. I will be sure to get on and let you all know how it went. Maybe not tomorrow night since I'm having it done late in the day. (btw, any idea how long this kind of procedure lasts? My appt isn't until 3 and I wouldn't imagine them staying very late on a friday) But I'm sure Saturday I will be with it enough to post.
And for inquiring minds, I have not heard from my hs friend yet. He just read it today (I've been checking my inbox to see the status). I wouldn't really be surprised if I don't hear from him, but it's only polite to write back IMO. We'll see. Judging from the comments on his page, he is very busy.
Ok, off to get ready for WW. I'm feeling postive that the scale dropped since I haven't eaten anything in about 3 days.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

He determined that my veins were defective, so that is how insurance paid for it. I had valium and some other powerful drug to help relax me. Then he uses an ultrasound machine to find my vein that is the "source" of my VV. Then he sticks a laser up in that vein, ultrasounds again to make sure it is in correctly, then he lasers the vein, and it collapses. I wear the compression hose for six weeks, and then the bulging vein is gone. It isn't completely painless, but it is tolerable. If you want more details (maybe I gave too much here), send me a pm.
He really is a good guy, and I am a lucky girl. In fact our valentine cards had essentially the same sentiment in them. It was really neat! 


Gross! Who wants to see that!?
And I didn't want to undo any good I did at jazzercise today.
I had to stay awake for the procedure, and it hurt at times, but the meds made me not care.
