Thanks again guys for all the support.

Surgery went well, although the doctor decided to just do the laser ablation and wait to see how much that helps before deciding if anything should be done with the surface veins.

Feet are feeling good right now, probably because they pumped anesthetic into the veins before they did the procedure. Got to keep moving to help prevent blood clots.

I'll let you know how things go over the next few days. Probably the worst part is having to wear the compression hose pretty much continuously for 3 weeks. plus, In two weeks I have to go in for the other leg
