The mysterious swelling in my foot has gone down considerably but I kept my doc appnt anyway. He immediately saw it was swelled, much to my surprise compared to what it was. He ordered x-rays and told me to "walk to live". Translation - go to the bathroom and otherwise stay off it. (He did give me permission to do upper body exercising). Next appnt next week. Meanwhile he perscribed a diuretic that also lowers bp. It also messes with potassium levels which in turn effects muscle spasms.

I feel like I just stepped into a hole. The med also makes me a little light-headed. Or is that the fibro? I do have a special shop to make tommorrow to get an early b'day present for hubby. It's only a two-day sale and I expect the item to fly off the shelf, plus he'll be leaving for hunting soon. I want to be sure he gets it. I'll need all my strength and will just pop in and out of the shop. I feel a little guilty going against doc orders but will feel worse if I don't get the item.

Ok, one little thing at a time. Just a week. Just a week.
