We are headed into the 10th month of this pandemic and I am starting to feel like there is no light at the end of this tunnel. Numbers keep going up, rules keep changing, death tolls keep rising and we continue to feel isolated from many of our friends and family. We missed celebrating Thanksgiving with others.....will we have to miss Christmas too? Wearing a mask has become so normal to me that I have at times caught myself questioning why something looks “off” while watching a movie or show, only to discover that I was confused about the lack of masks; the funny thing is that now newly released episodes are starting to have masks and covid included. It’s easy to get complacent with this pandemic, but we must remember why we are doing all this in the first place.

Compression socks sound so annoying until you try them. Compression socks are often recommended for people with swelling, edema, varicose veins, or soreness in their legs. This can happen for so many reasons, however, the common issue created is a difficulty for the veins to
circulate blood-flow back up to the heart to be re-circulated, thus causing fluid/blood to remain in the legs. This swelling can cause pain, discomfort, fatigue, lack of energy, and cramps.
