Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for words of encouragement. I don't think I am as scared as I omce was. I am just putting out a lot of fires at the moment with my health situation. One thing after another. No time to work in a replacements until we can get some of this other stuff under control. At the moment my body is swelling at warp speed. I suspect it is the prednisone taper but could be cardiac. Could be this or that. I have an appt Monday so will wait until then to address the severe edema with the pumonologist. However, the hips were the focus last year. The plan was to have them replaced this past December. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to know you are having success and to know that maybe that success is possible for me too. Thanks and take care.
