I'm So Vein

Just thought somebody might want to know what I have been up to lately. Well, let me show you...
I can assure you the backs of my legs look just as lovely. What is going on you ask? Just a little vein procedure--sclerotherapy to be exact.

Under those thigh-high, therapeutic-strength compression stockings and each of those bandages is a cluster of needle holes where a solution was injected into the spider veins which is supposed to make them eventually disappear.

The goal I am trying to achieve is not to have better looking legs (although that would be nice). It is to hopefully help alleviate the heaviness and creepy crawly feelings I almost always feel in my lower legs.

Although most would think I am so vain to have this procedure done, my ulterior motive is somewhat different.

In several weeks, when my legs are healed, I certainly hope to see this wasn't all done "in vein." (Ha ha!)

And I thought pictures of my belly on your Instagram feed were horrifying enough. I think this picture tops those.

Most people would probably choose to wear pants in a situation like this...
