My biggest problem these days is the swelling of my left leg. I'm still keeping it up over my heart for what turns out to be most of the darn day but as soon as I am up and walking, the swelling starts. My leg swells up to about half again it's size. The skin is so tight that it is shiny and as smooth as glass. Weird. When I have had it up for a couple hours, the legs softens and feels normal again. But to have to keep doing that means I get nothing done around here. I hate it!
I have no idea when or if this is going to stop. Is it the bypass needing to increase in size so it can carry off the excess fluid or what? I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and try to find out. The only thing that pleases me is that the seepage seems to be slowing down a lot. I hope that means the area is starting to heal up.
We made a pizza for our dinner tonight....after we added a few things. He bought a pepperoni pizza and we added Italian sausage and more cheese. After it was cooked, we sprinkled some crushed red peppers on it. It was really tasty and filling, too.
Then it was down with leg up, up for a bit on my computer, then down again with leg up, back up and playing a game on my computer....in other words, booooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnngggg!!!!
I'm up now, leg is swollen and I don't plan to lay down until I am ready to sleep for the night. I'm waiting for my friend Carol to come back online. She was watching a taped 60 Minutes segment with her hubby before she came back on to chat.
It's raining out and I may lose my internet if the rain gets any harder so I want to get this posted. Love you all and I wish you a fantastic week! The kids go back to school this Wednesday so I hope to have Chewlee for a sleepover tomorrow. Be good. Drive safely. ***Hugs***
