How about fidgety leg exercicises instead? http://www.airhealth.org/flexing.html

Thor, Not as much the alcohol alone at sea level, but the alcohol + flying long distance! Believe me I'm not a saint when it come to a beverage, but the alcohol, dehydration, cabin pressure, immobility, etc. are huge issues post DVT/PE. I would pump water before, during and after flying and walk up the aisle once an hour while in flight. If you are that nervous about flying ask your PCP for a sedative. Also WEAR YOUR COMPRESSION SOX and take your lovonox! Once you land, have a nice martini with dinner :-) Good luck and happy holidays. -P

Oh Pete, you said the "M" word!
My flight to AZ over Thanksgiving was just under 4 hours, and though I'm not shooting lovenox, I am on warfarin. I had one vodka tonic on the way out, and 2 glasses of wine on the way back, and a bottle of water at the airport. I didn't wear my compression sox, but got an aisle seat so I could move my leg a bit more freely.
Don't pound drinks (they wouldn't let you anyway, and that little bottle is expensive and you can't bring your own anymore. And FYI - they prefer credit cards to cash on the planes now, with their little card readers at the ready.)
Get a bottle of water for the ride too, and you should be ok to have one (I'm not a doctor though, and my advice is based solely on what I do, not what my doc recommends.)
As for nerves: I used to be terrified of flying. Something that helped me was to watch the flight attendants - how calm they are, how it's all so routine to them - it really helped me deal with all the freaky noises and bumps in the ride, to see how it's just another day on the job for these folks. So I decided I would only get nervous if the flight attendants looked nervous. Also, spring the $2 for headphones and listen to music or if you get one, watch the movie. Have a great trip!

Hahahaha I thought you have to hold the party line on this board regarding anything fun! Sorry about the "M" word. No, no, no :-) Clearly being on coumadin a while I've relaxed a bit. In the beginning it seemed like that Vapors' song...

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger

-p

I would check with your doctor. When I was on Lovenox it was a strct routine because I had just got out of the hospital with yet another clot and was returning to work. Good luck

I get nervous on plane rides too lol :) I love to hear it when I am not the only one! Perhaps you can get some Xanax from your doc? Gets me through a plane ride every time. And I've take Xanax while on Lovenox no problem.
