My trip to the vein center yesterday went well. The procedure lasted about one hour and was relatively painless... just 15 to 20 brief pinches when the doctor was inserting pain meds or making holes to remove veins.
I could not view the procedure because of the location of my head relative to my leg, but it is just as well because I might have anticipated the pinches.
Near the end of the procedure, I asked the doctor what a vein looked like because I had never seen one in the flesh, so he showed me a vein he had just removed from my leg and it looked like hollow spaghetti with some red sauce.
I go back tomorrow for an ultrasound to make sure everything is copacetic.
