I have no appointments coming up

I Thank God I do not have a reason to need an appointment book right now. I am barely functioning, and if someone was relying on me to be somewhere I could not do it.

I am still working to fight this edema of almost seven weeks and maybe my 20 hours a day in bed are working - but if so, this is very slow going.

I found out I can go to a clinic very cheaply and maybe get some diuretics. I need to get money out of STEEm for that purpose. This will happen Sunday maybe, and then I will go if I am not significantly better by that time.

I'm wearing two pairs of socks, leggings, and stretchy shorts to try to squeeze this excess fluid out of my lower body. But if it is happening it is going slowing and all these clothes are a freaking nightmare in the heat.

All of them are inside out so that the seams don't dig into my flesh. Are you getting the attractive picture I see here?

My breathing is not going too well. Every time I sleep I wake up in a panic gasping. I try to fling myself out of bed, and then my legs won't bend to help.

I'm drinking a lot of liquids and eating very lightly, I feel like eating and drinking nothing, but that would make everything worse. For every 5 drinks, I pee out only one it seems. But I sweat out about 3 more. So it's in the shower again to try to not feel so sticky.

It's late, and now I will try to lie my bloated body down for more rest. Elevate those legs! Sigh...

My photo is part of my old bookshelves when I lived in California. Now I have zero books and feel good about that. My arthritic hands could not hold them, my bad eyes would need glasses to read them, and I have no room for them in my luggage. I used some cheap point and shoot camera for that pic.
