I also only drink a small cup of water so that I have to get up repeatedly through the day to go refill it. :) I didn't know about the statistics of DVT - thanks for sharing!

I have experienced DVT and pulmonary embolism on more than one occasion; the first almost killing me. The day I almost died the doctors kept trying to give me breathing treatments thinking I was having "asthma attacks". However, they finally realized .... hey, we better check her for pulmonary embolism. Finally they found I had multiple blood clots break apart and were found in both lungs, what the doctors called "peripheral pulmonary embolism". I was sent to ICU, placed on oxygen, and began a 10 day hospital stay of recuperating while being given shots to dissolve the blood clots, and get my INR to the correct level. After leaving the hospital, I was on blood thinner medication (Coumadin) for six months. I then experienced pulmonary embolism on two different occasions; once after knee repair surgery; and a third time after emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction. The doctors then decided after three blood clot episodes, I should have a Greenfield Vena Cava Filter which can be seen on the <a href="http://www.bostonscientific.com/med_specialty/deviceDetail.jsp?task=tskBasicDevice.jsp&sectionId=4&relId=3,126,127,128&deviceId=12003" rel="nofollow">Boston Scientific site</a>. It looks like a tiny little umbrella without the fabric attached. Its job is to 'catch' the blood clots before they reach my heart. It is truly saving my life! Thanks for urging everyone to keep moving! I urge everyone to also be careful during airline flights, long car, bus, or train rides, and after surgery or long periods of illness.

I should use mine more. It seems to clear the mind and shrink the behind. And now maybe it might prevent DVT. DVT is what took NBC journalist David Bloom down. And he was in Iraq.
