(Hypochondria might be more of a concern for you.)

Deep vein thrombosis is second most common natural cause of sudden death. My wife died of it in March of 1999. Don't dismiss it so lightly.

On the lighter side, take a photo of Jill Hennessey with you. Or your sweetheart. That will cure the mid flight cramps that ail you and before you know it, you will be at your destination.

Sorry to hear. My condolences. You're right - it is no joke.

I see no problem with the exercises, especially since people do have to get up to go to the bathroom. Also, if you're taking birth control pills or hormone replacements, there is a correlation between that and higher incidences of DVT. I'm not saying stop with the pills, but do get up and exercise. No sudden movements, no Arabic, you'll be fine.

I'm very sorry about the loss of your wife.

I was dismissing the idea that a person should "exercise" on a plane. I still dismiss it.
