Word of Caution for those who fly a lot

[Alphawolf]

finnbear,

Sounds like your need for booze kept you moving and active.

Too bad I am the 'healthy' type and drink only sometimes.

11hrs is long, but not so horrible. Double that is what I need to do. Deep blood clots are more common than people think:

Actually, on NorthWest airlines, Busness class is very spacious. It won't cost me anything on the long leg of the flight as I have enough air miles for a free upgrade.

Regardless, it's all about moving around every so often.

What fucked me was having a killer virus that stuck me in bed 5 days prior to flight and I just didn't want to move at all.

Now I'm super high risk for other clots so I must be very careful next time I fly.

Oh, yeah- forgot to mention I have a cavity that KILLS me when I forget and chew food on that tooth. But, I cannot do any Dental work due to this high INR level.

They say all things happen for a reason. I think they are retarded.
