Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hey Gang! Just got back from an unscheduled trip to the body sculptor's. When I tried on a pair of " regular " pants yesterday (as opposed to sweats or scrubs) the legs fit like sausage casings. These were pants i wore pre-op, so I know something was amiss. Sure enough, my ankles had disappeared, my calves were huge, and my thighs, formerly Shar-Peis on steroids had become Ponderosa pines. Edema. Severe edema. Dr. Wise figures I'm retaining 20 pounds of fluid in my legs. Lab tests. Referal to my PCP tomorrow morning. Considering all the possible complications from " Fillet Day, " this is pretty minor. I feel fine, and my heart/lungs are not having any trouble dealing with the extra fluid, so a diuretic ought to take care of it.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Oh Tim sorry to hear about this. I hope all turns out ok. Hugs and prayers for your extra fluid. Better get in shape if Pam is putting on her cat suit. gina > Hey Gang! > Just got back from an unscheduled trip to the body sculptor's.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I hope you get rid of that fluid soon. I am sure it also makes your legs kind of stiff too. I know when I am puffy with fluids I tend to get slower and stiffer. Good luck cecilia --- musil321 scorchio321@...> wrote: > Oh Tim sorry to hear about this.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Oh, This is sooOo Cool! God bless the both of you and Congratulations!!!! Big hugs Caryl Yes, it's all true. To explain my recent absence from this forum: I've been a tad busy lately. On 05/17 I had my first round of reconstructive surgery and lost 11 pounds in six hours. I returned to work on 06/23, to a huge steaming pile of equine effluence. I've been digging myself out from under ever since. 06/30 was the end of our fiscal year, so now I'm swamped with year-end/budget/audit stuff. Meanwhile, on 06/18 Martha (Yes, THAT Martha, for those of you besides Shell who know her) and I finally admitted to each other that what had been a two-year mutual attraction, friendship, and flirtfest was in fact the real deal. Some of you had already guessed or seen the BST (Bright Shiny Thing - M's engagement ring). After the big reveal at last Saturday's KSSF meeting, I guess this is the final forum to be addressed. I've spent the past month being vetted, feted, and presented to her extensive family of choice. (It's hell being popular!) I still can't get over the fact that the love of my life was sitting across the aisle from me at those KSSF meetings for two years. I guess I finally reached a point in my recovery (after despairing of ever loving or being loved again) where I could be open to an alternative universe in which it was not only possible, but in which it actually happened! To all my fellow travelers rowing in that boat, all I can say is that if it can happen to me, there's hope for everybody!They say that we should reward ourselves for each of the accomplishments/victories along this journey. All I can say, is that this is the reward of a lifetime!Uncle Timmy -240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
