This compression hose can change the world!

“Alright Sam, do we have everything we need to pull this job off?” 

“I’m pretty sure we do.  This is going to be the best heist ever!!”

“Ok, lets see… bag for money… jacket to wear… note to teller… and stocking to put on our head.”

“Here Bill, here is your stocking for your head.  Remember that stocking we put on our heads last time, how hot it was?  Well this one is better.  You remember how much we sweated last time while waiting for the teller to get the money?”

“Dude, I do!  It was horrible.  The sweat kept coming and collecting, but wouldn’t disappear.  It kept running down the inside and never evaporated.  I thought I was going to have a heat stroke.  My whole head was wet because of it.”

“This stocking is different.  Its the newest thing.  Its sheer and soft.  We can see through it and it won’t leave a raspberry on your nose or my forehead this time.  Its amazing how soft it is.  The other thing, this stocking will wick away perspiration from your skin.  So you don’t get hot like you did before.”

“Ok, Sam, let me have mine.  Man this is pretty tight.  Ok, its on my head…  um, Sam…  I,um…  I think I’m going to pass out.”  *THUD*

“Bill??  Bill?  Hang on, I’ll call the police.”

 

Mediven has done it again.  They have a new compression hose which they have just released.  It’s called Mediven Soft and Sheer.  This is the first time I have seen a sheer compression hose that is as soft as this.  The next thing they did to make it better than the other sheer hose out there, they engineered it to be able to wick away perspiration.  What does that mean to you?  It has a natural cooling effect on you legs while you wear them.

They are releasing them first as knee hi, thigh hi, and pantyhose.  Compressions can be in 20/30 and 30/40 mmHg.  I have also been told that towards the end of this year, they will release as an open toe as well, in those compressions.  That would also be a first for the sheer compression hose.

The other advantage to purchasing these compression hose is that with every purchase of these stockings, Mediven will donate $1.00 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  The more you buy, the more they donate.

Again, it is called Mediven Soft and Sheer.  If you have any questions, use the links on the side to pull up either our Close To You online store or our main website.    We look forward to hearing from you.

Take care!

 

**Disclaimer – We do not advocate anyone wearing any type of compression hose on their head. Ever.**

Compression hose?!?!? I don’t need no stinkin’ compression hose!

Compression hose, support hose, ted hose…..  these all make you think of horrbile looking socks that your grandmother use to wear.  It’s true, she might have worn something like that…. back in the day.

Please step with me into the present.  Times have changed.  So has the make up of compression hose.  Todays stockings have so many options, you can’t tell between normal socks and the ones that have compression.  All sorts of colors, different lengths, and different sheerness.

So, I’m sure your asking, why are you telling me this in the first place.  I’m glad you asked.  Close To You now has an online store to purchase these types of products.  Our online store offers the same products that we sell if you were to walk into our store.

Anyways, check it out.  If you have questions about anything on it, give us a call.

Take care! 

Vein removal covered by insurance?

Beth:  “Julie, my legs look so bad, I don’t even want think about wearing shorts this summer.”

Julie: “Beth, stop being so dramatic.  Haven’t you heard.  There is a new procedure that can take care of your varicose veins, and it covered by insurance!”

Beth: “Are you serious??  That sounds great!  I wouldn’t have to worry about how my legs looked or how bad would feel all summer long.”

Yep, you read that right.  A varicose vein surgery that can be covered by insurance.  Now I will tell you, I don’t know all the ins and outs of the surgery or how it goes about being billed to insurance, but it sounds like a pretty good deal.  Here is the good thing, atleast if you live near Dallas, Texas.  It is being done here. 

Here is the article from the local news station Wfaa.com.

Check it out, talk to your doctor about it and see if its something that might benefit you.

 

Welcome to our first blog spot.

So, this is what a blog looks like.  Hmm….  not to bad.

Well…  I guess I will start this off and say “Hey.”  This is going to be a blog from the people of Close To You.  Just so you know, Close To You is a medical supply store in Dallas, Texas.  We have been servicing the Dallas metro area for 20 plus years.

We work with doctor’s around the area to help patients with mastectomy fittings and compressions garment fittings.  So with type of know-how, I thought we should put more of our knowledge online to be able to help out more people.  From this point on you will see links to articles that relate to cancer, lymphedema or compression.  You probably will be able to find little bits of humor along the way also.

With all of this said, there is one more thing to say….  Welcome!  I hope you enjoy this little area of the world wide web.  Hopefully something can be learned that you might not have known before.

Take care and we will talk soon!
