                        Hi Mary and Gladys,  Thanks for writing.   This is just a terrible ordeal.   I was allowed to go back to work in Nov. (part time) but the pain is always in the leg.   If I dont wear those TEDS the leg gets worse.  I go for blood work once a week for the protime so they can adjust my Coumidin dosage....they were hoping to get the blood tests down to once a month but they cant seem to find the right dosage.   I see the doctor end of January for a checkup.  Last time he felt I had come along way but this seems such a long recovery...if one ever recovers.   Well FACTOR Five Leiden does enter into it as I stated.  I am just always fearful of it all starting up again.   The clots are still dissolving but do they ever dissolve???   I deal with it on a day to day situtation.  I guess thats all you can do.   EMAIL me at my addy if you like about anything.  Its nise_p@hotmail.com    Thanks.  I would love to hear from you both.   I try to keep stressfree from all this but I worry alot about as to whats going on inside my body as far as the clots go.   Have any of you been able to fly on a plane????? I am thankful I am alive but its like my life has been somewhat put on hold.  Thanks for listening and I would love to hear from you both....or anyone.  Keep smiling.
