Time for an update. I have not done one in a long time. This one is going to be mainly about me.
I have been suffering from edema of the ankles. Which basicly means the tissue in my ankles and all the way up to mid-calve is holding liquid, water. Meaning I am retaining water. I noticed it about two months ago. My ankles looked HUGE! No joke. Just to see, I pressed my thumb into my ankle and it held a deep impression of were I pressed for a long wile. I knew right away what it was. I went to kaasan, and she confirmed what I thought.
Kaasan almost died about four years ago thanks to the condition. Except she had it every place. Scary, ne?
I was pressed and buged and pressed into contacting the union for caregivers to get madical benefits. I did so, I was accepted.....Te coverage does not start till Augest 1st. Oh well right?
Well here are some causes of why I would have Edema.
Eating too much salt -- I don't eat any more salt than I ever have.
Sunburn -- I dont go out in the sun.
Heart failure --
Kidney disease --
Liver problems from cirrhosis --
Pregnancy -- HAHA! Yeah right.
Problems with lymph nodes, especially after mastectomy -- What the hell is mastectomy? Whatever it may be it isnt my problem.
Some medicines -- The only medicine I take, and when forced is Tylonol and thats not so often
Standing or walking a lot when the weather is warm -- Its been fairly cold out this way....
(@_@;) Gee.
Well anyway I am being covered by Primera BlueCross. or something like that.....As soon as Augest rolls around I WILL make doctors appointments and what not.
I weighed myself today...Well yesterday, and I have gained 30 lbs since the last time I weighed myself....I am seriously not happy... I am starting a diet and exercise rutine TODAY! I am also going to start playing tennis soon. Root for me????
On to a less serious note.
I am so happy to have my room back. A year ago when I gave it up I never thought I would actually MISS it!! I missed my privacy, that I relised within the first week. But I missed my room. I have not finished decorating it yet, but I got it back. YAYNESS.
They are suppose to be comming over Monday. Oh joy. It will be two weeks tomorrow since they moved out.
OH! Did I ever mention that, IM BLONDE!!!! Oh yeah, and I had to cut my hair.. (-.-;) It was an accident. I tried to trim it alone and screwed up royaly. Leave it to me. But every one around her is going blonde, so I am going to dye the roots of my hair that's showing, fire-engine red with matching streaks. WoOtness. My friend Darci, is bleaching her hair and putting pink streaks into it..... She is such a copy-cat. (@_@)
Well, Kaasan is insisting on talking my ear off, so I am going to cut this short.
