The Home Stretch

This is an uncomfortable business. At best you would call it shuffling not walking so it's a slow time getting around. One of the most annoying things was called calf compression. There were already these tight stockings on but over the top of that were inflatable pads attached to a pump. Every 30 seconds one leg would inflate hold for 10 seconds then deflate and 30 seconds later move to the other calf. This went on all night long in the name of DVT prevention and clots not forming.
