I've never seen this before this is great info Cave. It definitely helps to have the visual. Thank you for posting this!

You're welcome! When I find 'stuff' that's new to me or has been talked about in the past I always err on the side of being repetitive and will post it.

If it's old hat---- then S.O.B. is a good rule to follow. (Scroll On By----not short of breath!)

Definitely a nice handy dandy reference guide; thanks for sharing.

Too bad their statistical numbers have never been properly updated though (The DVT Coalition is created and funded by Sanofi-Aventis Pharmaceuticals - makers of Lovenox). Brochure states up to 2 million Americans each year, but the actual reference they cite is incorrect on their part since the author made an estimate that it "could possibly effect up to 2 Million Americans" each year; he didn't know. The CDC, Surgeon General, Venous Disease Coaliton, and National Blood Clot Association numbers are closer to reflecting accurate statistics, but even then, they are not 100% accurate due to the way DVT/PE incidents are reported (some States like Virginia have report PE as a heart related condition, or some number are reported twice). The Heit report by Dr. John Heit is closer to reality, though still having known deficiencies (reporting an occurence twice). Just my 2 cents.

Good brochure regardless.

***but even then, they are not 100% accurate due to the way DVT/PE incidents are reported (some States like Virginia have report PE as a heart related condition, or some number are reported twice).***

Yeah---you'd think serious diseases would co-relate. Or correlate. Or get their acts together.

I'm no stranger to skewed and incorrect statistics because of my all too familiar acquaintance with Lyme disease. The CDC only reports cases that are based on their woefully inadequate two tier testing and using a Western blot test that doesn't take into consideration that there ARE other strains out there and that there IS a west coast in the U.S.

Now, see what I've done to my BP!!!

Thank you for the link Cave! Definitely Great info to have

Thank you, clarkjulie. I use some of them while playing my 3 X a week board games because I'll forget to get up and walk around in the heat of battle!

And the ankle circles and shoulder rolls while watching TV. Not as good as getting up and walking around---- but what can I say?

Thank goodness for having to pee a lot---- now THAT does get me up and moving! (grin)

Lol yes thank goodness for bathroom breaks!
I definitely have been making use of those exercises while being pretty much bed bound while I fight off this cold. It's been a long week!
