Hi All.....Yes, I have been extremely busy with school....
Hi All.....Yes, I have been extremely busy with school....
And other errands have kept me rushing all over the place for about the past 3 to 4 weeks. I do post on Facebook, but that has been limited as well because of my schoolwork and such.
I have to admit that I haven't been on here as much as there really hasn't been much to say about my heart as far as the valves go, other than to say that I am going to be looking into getting a lap band put on most likely next summer so that I can try and drop some weight.
I am a bit worried though as Dr. Calfon in Boston has said that I need to be wearing compression stockings, due to the swelling in my legs, feet and ankles, and I have a pair, so I wore them for a day and the blood in my legs settled to the bottoms of my feet and heels and now my toes are turning purple. I think that the Diabetes has started to take it's toll on me, which the doctors have said would happen after being diabetic for 16 years.
I am now also having to contend with the fact that my father is in kidney failure, and he goes at the end of this month to find out what is exactly causing it...whether it's his diabetes or his CHF we don't know yet, but yes, this is upsetting me as I am just now starting to heal after losing my grandmother and now I may be faced with losing my father....
Well, I am off to bed as I have been up since 5:30 am and it's now 1 am, so I had better get my buns to bed. I will try and be on more often, but as I have said, school really has me busy....HUGS!!!!!
