I just loved this post, and could relate so well. I was a principal, wrote a book and a Master's thesis, from my early forties to age fifty. Then everything went to hell. I got a blood clot in the hepatic vein to the liver. I am a "two percenter"! My health cascaded down from there. Fortunately, i survived, and like you Jenny, I kiss the ground every day. Others complain about aging, while I think I'm so lucky to have lived another twelve years and counting. This advice is excellent, and you added things I didn't know. I also shared with other people. Thank you so much for sharing this!

In reply to Fae Rowen. Plus, your walking schedule is tremendous, Fae. You walk like 5-6 hours a week!

In reply to Christine Samuelson. Christine, I'm as sedentary as most other writers most of the time, but the idea of getting more blood clots makes me move and definitely makes me wear compression socks. Also, since obesity is one of the 4 main causes of blood clots, weight management is something I need to get more serious about now that menopause is rearing it's ugly head.

Since my first varicose vein popped up on my sixteenth birthday, I've always paid attention to my hereditary-burdened veins. Thanks for the great review, Jenny!

What enormously helpful information -- you may have saved a few lives! Can't thank you enough and will pass it around to other authors. Glad you are healthy today, and are spreading the word on our sedentary lifestyles. Thank you!

In reply to James R. Preston. Good gravy, James! You're lucky to be alive too. So glad you got that repaired. And man...I think I'll go take a walk now. :-)

In reply to Julie Glover. What you're doing in your office is the best, Julie. But I hear you that you can't do it in the "out in the world" chairs. I have only three possible solutions: - Sitting on the edge of the chair will let your feet touch the ground and work your core. - I use my bag to rest my feet on (my purse and all the essentials are in the bag) - Compression socks!
