I went to see my doctor today about the swelling in my legs. It seems to have gotten worse over night. The doctor gave me a stay of execution as far as going to the hospital. I will go there next Friday (as an outpatient) to have a bilateral ultrasound. Hell be looking for one or more blood clots, but says he doesnt expect to find any. I had three tests in his office. Two turned out good, and the results for the third one wont come in this week. The other thing Im going to have to work on is getting more nutritional and well-balanced meals. Im less stressed, and much happier, now.

Worrying kept me awake last night, so I wasnt able to get much sleep. After getting home, I did manage to take a short snooze before dinner. Food (especially dessert) almost always peps me up.

I dont have any plans for the weekend, which isnt too unusual. Guess Ill read a book and listen to music. Thats a good stress reducer for me.

Good news about the \"stay of execution\" and outpatient next week, I\'m sure all will be fine. Sorry you didn\'t sleep well, but you know it was due to worrying (who wouldn\'t be?...that\'s normal). You sound much better and I\'m glad, sounds like a relaxing w/e to me! Join the club, I will be home as well, problem is, I have not found a stress reducer. And food, well, haven\'t found a \"comfort\" food either, in fact, not much of an appetite, I know, not good for the mind or the body. Daily thought is (again) so true, why can\'t we (I) believe/action it????? Have a nice day.
