The Boy With New Legs


EVLT: Endovenous Laser Therapy. The reason I have not been blogging for the past month! To my global followers, I apologise for my lack of posting, for I have been on the quest and have found my newly improved lower limbs: My varicose-vein-free legs!


After a four hour operation to close the veins with a laser through my ankles and then remove them via hooked needles from the sides of my calves, I have been sporting a lovely pair of nude-coloured compression stockings, waiting for the past 3 weeks to pass before being unleashed on the world once more. Having to keep off my legs for as much as possible has been a huge challenge for me, but watch out, The Flying Kiwi is back, with pretty new vein free legs, with a rather exciting birthday month ahead. This boy needs to rejoice in the Dhs45,000 (NZ$16,600) that he didnt have to pay from his own pocket and thank everyone at the EK Medical Insurance Department for finally agreeing to cover my surgery!


So keep checking back, the updates will begin once more! You can clip my wings, but only temporarily!
