My Trip to STEEMFest Kicked My Butt!
I have read a lot of posts today about how people get a let down when coming home from STEEMFest. I am way too sick for that. Instead, I have so many things I want to do,and still, after being home four days, I am not doing many of them.
I'm fighting edema now and it's the worst I have had. Lucky for me. a friend brought limes and ginger to me today. Tea from this is what I am drinking now, and will continue as much as I can take it for the next few days. This is better than just plain water and helps to flush out all this built up fluid I need to get rid of.
The edema had got my legs twice their normal size and is way up into my trunk. The swollen parts of my body are rock hard and painful. Until this goes away, I am really good for nothing.
I'm so grateful for everything about this trip, and want to get started processing everything. But it is better to keep resting and waiting until I feel better.
Next year, WHEN I go to STEEMFest, I will certainly arrive earlier. A few days rest before the event would have really helped. As it is, I am just very lucky to have been at all and need to count my blessings. Tomorrow will be a better day.
My photo is of some cows I saw from the train coming south from Bangkok on the way back down to Kuala Lumpur after the event. I am looking at the thin legs of the cow in front and wanting mine to go back like this soon.

So sorry you have to "pay" for your good times by being sick. I have an autoimmune condition and remember when I attended my niece's wedding in France (nineteen years ago). My doctor was skeptical before I went. When I returned I "paid" for that good time. It took months for me to get my full steam back. Even so, I'm glad I went.
If we are dealing with a condition, the challenge is to live our lives and not let the condition define our lives.
I can see you do that. Kudos. Hope the legs get back their svelte form soon.
Good luck to you.

May your swelling go down soon. Best health wishes to you. At 14 weeks pregnant I am retaining water during the day and letting it all out at night - not sleeping so well, but still very happy.
