I'm so vein

This morning as I was applying lotion to my legs I noticed really visible veins in my legs. They are not yet bumpy or raised, but I can see how they might get there. Later at work, I felt like my legs were throbbing. I googled varicose veins and discovered they are hereditary (my aunt had them), and as much as 20 percent of the female population gets them.

I went to my favorite resource on the Web-- MayoClinic.com and am now writing this with my legs elevated above my heart. Nice, an excuse for lying on the couch at 7:30.
