One year later...

 After Jude's birth I gave myself a year to take care if some varicose veins that were still causing pain and discomfort. Friday morning I finally began the procedure. I was conscious the whole time and even popped my head up every now and then to see what dr mcquaid was doing. The Cooltouch laser catheter ablation thing was easy. Tad uncomfy but nothing compared to the phlebectomy. Claire counted 16 bandsids that I had to replace since the Steristrips lost their adhesion. Glad I started the process. Grateful for advancements in technology.
