Hi gang,

My hugs and affection to all of you:  thanks to the LE crew, I got fitted for a sleeve, and have successfully flown twice with it.  Gals, if you are worried about developing LE, I highly recommend a well-fitted garment and taking good care of yourself with it.  My only observation is the sleeve is no problem at all, the gauntlet is a bit of a pain in the behind. Just a little more to get used to.

I have a question:  is it normal for my fingers to be pinker than the other hand when I'm wearing the gauntlet?  It is creating compression, so I'm not surprised, but no one talks about what to look out for when wearing the sleeve other than your fingers shouldn't turn purple.
