Fred Flintstone Feet!!!

After my last appointment ( March 6th) I started to swell and I do mean swell, On Friday, March 7th I noticed that my feet were getting a little swollen, Saturday they really started to swell, I said because of the long wait in line for the baby bears, Sunday even bigger, Monday morning I realized that I could not fit my feet into any of my normal shoes, so I wore flip flops to work.

On Wednesday, they hit their biggest, my ankles were I kid you not 6 inches thick-- I had 2 huge mounds on either side of where my ankle bone was supposed to be. I cried and cried.
That night I went to bed with my legs wrapped all the way up past my knees with ace bandages, two pair of ski tights, and a pair of ski socks, I had to take them off at 4 a.m. because my legs hurt so badly.
When I did this I had a ring around my ankle all the way down to the bone-- I could actually see how swollen my legs were, it was not a pretty sight!!!

Thursday wasn't as bad, and Friday I took off the TED hose ( support stockings) and didn't have to wear them all weekend, then on Monday morning( 2:30 a.m. ) they started to swell again, nothing like the week before though.

Mind you I have been sleeping with my legs elevated by 4 pillows since they started to swell-- not the most comfortable way to sleep, along with trying to be able to get out of bed to go potty. it has been fun:0)

I can deal with swelling, but that week I was miserable, I hate the feeling of walking and being able to feel the water swooshing around in your feet.

I took pictures but they are too ugly!!!!
