deep vein Thrombosis
I may have mentioned this previous, but before I went to the US, Mum had me in such a panic with talks of Deep vein Thrombosis and how long flights can be a cause, (I'd heard this before) but I thought i'd be fine, but I'd only spent four hours on the plane at the most before. Once I passed this, I had a wait in Aucland - only an hour) then another twelve hour flight. then I started to panic a bit after about the sixth hour! I had never had to experience such long travel; just sitting down doing nothing, thinking about every little feeling that is a result of my legs being in one place for so long! There is only so many times one can walk to the toilet without ppl kinda getting suspicious! Lol!
Anyway needless to say, some how I mannaged to survive that trip!
And my following demestic flights went OK except because I had started to get the flu, the long flight from Vegas to florida was awful! As I was aching all over, i was so worried that I was gettting me DVT, and so all I could find myself doing was moving my feet around as much as I could in the small space i had in economy!
Flying back from SFO to Aucland was so much better than flying up. I some how mannaged to dose off for a few small bouts at a time, (but then unfortunately be only interupted by these kids behind me with a kick to the back of my seat)! *grr My nose didn't even dry out as it did going up! My nose dried and was so sore; I didn't think the nose relied on lubrication til the vents and all dried everything.
Anyway needless to say, I told mum that her talks of DVT had me in a panick mode all the time Lol! She laughed and told me it was just comments, probably no need to worry.
But I now find that, since I'm now deciding to go to the UK, my my itinerary unavoidably = 21 hour flight time! so yes, I am a little worried Lol
But, I just googled this and it kinda confirmed more what Mum said, in that I probably don't have to panic too much. Parents have been to UK. also family friends always travel between lands! as long as I move my feet all the time, i probably should stop freaking.
( I just want to know )
OK so now I really am getting a cold. and I have been sneezing like a freak, and i got a saw throat still and all that yummy stuff! :( I decided to take me tablets though. I was prescribed them in case i got sick in the US but i didn't take them. took one I believe!
