Reputation: 46. Old topic I know, but since I live in Castle Rock, thought I might add my 2 cents (thats 4 cents in Castle Rock, btw). CR is a pretty decent place to live but it is not all all what most would think. First off, CR and the Denver Metro area is mainly high plains terrain with only a view of the mountains. So basically you have shrubs and brown fields, kinda hilly with an occasionally small forested area (Castle Pines).

The blood is de-oxygenated, and enters the right atrium of your heart â this is at the lower right, back side of your heart.
What are Varicose Veins? Veins are blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood from the outer parts of the body back to the heart and lungs. When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists and turns, or enlarged, they are called varicose vein. This happens most commonly in the veins in the legs and thighs. 1  The thickened, twisting or dilated parts of the vein are called varicosities. 2  Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body, but they are most often located in the legs. 3  Varicose veins tend to be inherited, and become more prominent as a person ages.
