Hi Alton:
Thanks for the note. Well actually I am feeling pretty good. I am
going to start my exercise program again tomorrow morning. I was on the
treadmill doing 2.8 mph. I know that's not great or even close to what I use
to do, but I am determined to get back to the speed I was working at when
this happened. I can't do any grade it the treadmill I have to keep it flat,
that's kind of frustrating, but I am telling myself that at least this is
some kind of exercise rather than not doing any. Anyway, my goal this week
is to try and make it to the gyn at least five days.

One thing I have recently been experiencing for the last week is the
terrible swelling of the legs and feet. I have been keeping my legs raised
as much as possible, but the tingling and the tight bands seem so intense.
The diaretics are working somewhat but I do think it's doing the job. Other
then this swelling, I feel pretty good.

I'm real excited that I am going to be going down to Florida on May
8th for a week. I'm really looking forward to just getting away. My
daughter said she will come stay with the dog (since she talked me into
getting a puppy in december) which is more than I can handle right now.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to going down to Florida. I am so
tired of this cold weather. If its now cold in Philadelphia, it's raining
and damp.

Thanks for the encouragement, I think everyone here has just been
exceptional and always making me feel so at home.

Thanks everyone.
