Hi Ann,
Thanks for the note. I am trying to work out as much as possible. I had a
really bad week for some reason. I started retaining all the fluid so I just
got on some fluid pills and it seems a little better. Does any one else have
this problem with excessive fluid. Boy is that frustrating?
Other than that I am really lucky I am doing pretty well. I have great
support. I do drive but only if I have sneakers on. You can image that
looks great if I'm going to a wedding or something or someplace nice.
The TM hit me on July 11, 1998. In September I went to a wedding.
When I got to the church I noticed there were all these steps to go up.
Needless to say I don't do well on steps. Anyway I wanted to do it for
myself. As I was going up the steps, I heard someone say Oh look someone
lost their shoes. Of course I was afraid to look down because I just knew it
was me. Well of course it was. The friends I went with just very nicely
went over and got my shoes and we just had a great laugh. You really do get
into some interesting situations with this condition.
Other than that I have been very lucky and I kind of have accepted
that this may be as good as it gets and I feel like as long as I have my arms
I can do with the limited leg use.
Sorry about going on and on. Thanks for writing
Angela
