    Hi.

    As a nurse, I can totally understand WHY they want the TEDS and the IS...but I can't say I would like it either. As long as you are moving adequately, I would think it would be OK to discontinue their use... BUT don't take MY word for it!! Call your doc and see what he/she says about it.

    Yeah, they are unattractive, but wayyyy better than getting a blood clot and dying... Oh vanity...Haha.

    Still, I hope I won't have to have them!
