Tis a new day, and I intend to rest and excercize and play guitar and...well I will probably just rest. I do believe I am feeling better although I have four little poofy things at the ends of my extremities that resemble hands and feet but are full of water and kinda look like boxing gloves and little snausages... some are also black and blue and brown and yellow. (that would be the afore mention ankles) need to get this water off, perhaps will go see if they have a watermelon at the grocery (excellent dieuretic by the way) and eat that all day. dang, shoulda done that on the way home. hands and feet are also numb. nothing new, but seem to be less bothersome. so, perhaps I will have a good restful day off! You all have a good day too!

Well, imagine watermelon as diuretic - learn something every day! Is all this swelling the result of bruising, or do you swell up! I swell - hope it\'s not kidneys - Sept. is a foul month in ?Southern Hemisphere; gales, storms and the barometer up & down - not good for we rheumatic bods! - haven\'t been able to get my g\'mother\'s ring off my finger for 2 weeks: Next year I shall go to a warmer place - if it kills me! Hope you do have a restful day there! Best wishes JaneD.
