Papa Tom's left leg ablation went well. He's propping his leg up on the Dave and Buster's boxing glove that Fox won for him a while back. He has to wear a thigh high compression stocking on the leg for 21 days while the incisions heal. The right leg ablation is scheduled for June 2. The hardest part for Papa Tom is the 10-lb lifting restriction. He is used to lifting more than that daily in the garden, at the bee hives, around the house. Endovenous thermal ablation is a way to get rid of varicose veins without surgery. Providers use a laser or radiofrequency waves to seal off veins. This procedure requires a small incision and usually has a shorter recovery time than surgery.
