Get well soon...

I read something similar years ago and got compression flight socks, as well as remembering to get up and move around the plane often. Don't do any long haul now thankfully.
In the office I've lowered my chair so my feet can be flat on the floor (avoids the chance of me crossing and folding them back underneath me). I generally keep the feet moving anyway as I have a golf ball on the floor to keep palantir fasciitis at bay.

So, flying back from Vegas gave me a blood clot in my left calf. After a few hospitals, blood tests, ultrasound I'm now stabbing myself in the stomach every morning with blood thinners. Nice end to the season.
So much for adjusting to timezones. Don't take sleeping pills on a long flight.
