oh doydie
you are doing a delicate dance but seem to be so knowledgeable. i'm sure your management is excellent.

i know about the edema. when i got back from my stint in baltimore i had gained 5# and had 2-3+ pitting edema feet, ankles, even legs. except i am on lasix (which i couldn't take for 4 of the 7 days i was there).

i started taking it and in 4 days lost the 5# and now my legs are normal.
i also put on my compression hose and that helped. and, i was back to sitting in my recliner which i didn't have there.

i hope this passes and you get good control back. i know you can lose the wt again. try a bit each day and will add UP to a LOSS.
