Shari, about 20 years ago I got a clot in my leg....it took about 6 months to totally dissolve.  That vein has now collapsed, and the blood circulation has diverted to other veins, but even to this day when I push on the area it remains tender.  The best advice I can give you is to keep you leg up as much as possible.<br />

Cheryl, Chris is an absolute charmer and what a wonderful son to do those chores for his Dad.... you sure do have bragging rights&#33;&#33;<br />
<br />
Mary Lou, too bad you didn&#39;t win BIG.... but it always feels great when you haven&#39;t lost either, doesn&#39;t it.<br />
<br />
Jeannette, sorry to hear about your flood, thank heaven&#39;s for your family&#39;s help&#33;
