my highs and lows, ups and downs

[lyndajoan]

well after just getting over a bad case of cellulitiss in both feet, my skin on my feet keeps comming off in big sheets, i have never seen nothing like it:cry:

to top it all i have been taking my warter tablets but my legs are so hard and swollen and red i am sooo pi...ed off with this but most of all worried i am sitting with my legs elevated and these support stocking i have got are not very supportive, i think i need a stronger tog.:cry:

i am going to try and get an appointment with my doctor on mon, but i am toying with the idea of going the walk in center tommorrow or talking to nhs direct as i am worried as i find it hard to walk as it is so now its even more difficult :sigh:

just when i think things are looking up with getting my funding, i dont want when its time to see the surgon that he says no because of the swelling in my legs:sigh:

thanks for listening. x x x x

hi caron my legs are still swollen due to excess warter retention, but also i have put 12 pounds on due to this water retention and i am fed up with it, as you will prob know with warter retention every thing on your body goes solid so its difficult to move, thanks for asking love. and hows your self.? xxxx

im ok mate, just fed up with waiting for my op lol

 

[TwinkleTwinkle]

Have you had a medical opinion on that, Lynda or are you assuming it is water. I would get it checked as it it is anything else you could be getting treatment.
Hugs to you & my buddy Caren (((hugs))) xxx :wave_cry:

 

[lyndajoan]

no twinkle i know i am stupid to not have but i am assuming it is warter ,i think i will go the doc cos to put 12 pound on in 4 days is not normal that and with my legs swelling is why i thought it was warter retention.

You are probably right, but still best to see doctor as 12lbs is a lot of water xx
