Post Travel, so you don't form a blood clot

A couple of months ago, I watched Good Morning America and learned that this lady had died because she developed a blood clot while flying. The problem is, she probably didn't stretch her legs enough while she was sitting on the airplane. Since this is the time of the year where a lot of people will tavel, I've decided to leave this link that discusses travel and blood clots (in this article, it also mentions what you can do to try and prevent blood clots from forming): [url="http://mc10.metacrawler.com/crawler?ct&pos=5&tot=84&sid=77991841mc10 _16_18&eng=Infoseek&q=traveling+%2Bblood +clot&to=http://www.onhealth.com/conditions/in-depth/item/item%2C38084_1"]http://mc10.metacrawler.com/crawler?ct&pos=5&tot=84&sid=77991841mc10 _16_18&eng=Infoseek&q=traveling+%2Bblood +clot&to=http://www.onhealth.com/conditions/in-depth/item/item%2C38084_1[/url] _1.asp My family and I plan to drive to Texas for Christmas, and I don't won't to develop a clot again, or have another stroke. We will stop every hour for me to get up and stretch my legs and use the bathroom (since my kidneys failed after my stroke).

I just tried that link and it's not the one. Here is one that I think will work: [url="http://onhealth.webmd.com/conditions/in-depth/item/item%2C38084_1_1.asp"]http://onhealth.webmd.com/conditions/in-depth/item/item%2C38084_1_1.asp[/url]
