today. I came back from lunch and something made me look at my ankle and it was all puffy looking. I had this last week and not wanting to seem paranoid I didn't call the dr. I kept debating about calling the dr this afternoon and finally listened to the little voice in my head and decided to call and see what they thought. Well, but of course, it was yes we should see you this afternoon. I actually had to see both the physician's assistant and the dr. My bp was back up to 138/92 so I'm now on a 3rd medication to see if that will lower the pressure and help reduce the swelling.I always find it amusing when they tell me to sit with my legs elevated as much as possible! I'm also being sent for a doppler sonogram and pelvic scan to see if there is a lymph node or blood vessel constricting the blood flow to my legs. I actually thought they had run out of tests and body parts to scan, xray and whatever else is possible. I'm now home in my hot little house trying to get some form of dinner on the table and my DH has announced he's going to see his cousin tonight and my very grumpy son has fortunately left the house for the evening. Oh, and I'm also supposed to lay off exercising until they figure out what's going on-if that ever happens! So I've been grounded and smiling through gritted teeth at what has come my way today!

I sure do hope that they can figure out what is causing all of these problems Susan.

OMGosh Susan, I am so sorry to read this. Like you do not have enough going on. I hope they figure out what and why this happening. I am sure no exercise for you is going to difficult.

On a cheery note what are you doing on Saturday night? I asked Grace if she had plans and she is going to let me know. Bill and Rob will be heading to NJ for the day and will not return home until around 9. Katie is sleeping at my inlaws and she is going over there around 3 or 4. I thought maybe we could meet for an early dinner, like 5 or 5:30. Let me know what you think!
