I've taken some pictures of my legs with the sore spots, and have posted them.
Well feeling a tiny bit better today, and the red is less today. I managed to go to work for a half day, and the swelling was not as bad. Even the slight relief I have is much better.
My grandmother made me bawl, she sent me some $ so I do not have to worry about working for 2 weeks if I just need to rest, she just wants me to get better. I tried to get my dad to tell her not to do it, but she says its her money, and she can do what she wants, and right now she wants to help me. I am able to go down to part time for the rest of this month, get my tests done, and not have to worry about $. How do you thank someone for something like that? I just start crying and tell her thank you, and how much stress is off my shoulders.
I ate solid food tonight, it hurt, but not as bad. I was able to keep it down, and it does not feel like a bowing ball.
So I am going to do the ensure for breaky and lunch, and try a light dinner like I did tonight.
I've lost almost 4 lbs. Not necessarily happy about the way I am losing it. Probably from only being able to drink ensure, and V8 juice. Solid food still huts too much. I am trying to eat one solid meal a day, but after it does hurt.
Going to try and take a pic of my legs, a week ago the red was from the spot all the way down to my ankle, now it is not as swollen and not as painful, just don't touch the spots, having something touch them makes me scream.
Ok going to try and take pics...on my phone lol
Ok so it worked. Trust me they look better then they did, the rest last week ran all the way down to my ankles, and the swelling is MUCH less. When I went into the hospital last friday, I had no ankle and no foot, it was all one line of swelling, my ankle was almost as thick as my calf.
Sometimes they are itchy, sometimes they feel like a slight charley horse, others they burn, and most of the time it feels like a really bad bruise. I try not to let anything touch them, that really hurts.
