Weekly whinings

The compliant of the week is related to my varicose veins.  I had a couple prior to be pregnant but they have gotten much worse since getting knocked up.  My doctor had prescribed compression stockings and I did buy them.  However, they were not very comfortable and I stopped wearing them shortly after I bought them.  Over this past week, the bugling veins are causing all sorts of discomfort and I have returned to the compression stockings.  My leg (it really is only one leg) throbs, is heavy, and is generally uncomfortable.  I've started putting my feet up as often as possible and I've even started putting on the stockings while I'm still in bed, all in an effort to minimize the discomfort.  Oh the joys!
