just a memo
I've never used the journal before, and don't know if I'll continue to use it, however, I just finally uploaded a few pictures so wanted to alert my friends that they're there. Including one of my very weird swollen red foot last night.
I really enjoy DS and try to keep up on friends journals and photos but don't always have the time to give it. Today's a snow day... although I OUGHT to be catching up on school reading! eek

Nancy,
You have a lovely family and I\'m so glad that you shared some pics! What a nice looking bunch your family is! I am a visual person and therefore love to associate a face with a name. I understand that not everyone is like this, but I enjoy seeing pictures of my friends and their family, which is why I posted some myself.
I really don\'t know about that swollen foot. Have you looked into Gout? Have you ever shown it to your doctor?
Thank you!! about my foot... it never stays that way. You know how it is; by the time you\'ve got an appointment the sx are all different. argh
It was in seeing yours and other friends\' photos that I wanted to include some of my family too.i do know what you mean about associating the face with the name. :-)
Hi Nancy~I love it that you are on the CFF group! :o) Love reading your posts and find you such a interesting lady! Wow...what a beautiful family you have....and they look like their \"beautiful MOM\"!!! You are so blessed with awesome kids! I am \"slow\" at getting any pic\'s up...I am going to have to have someone help me....not to savey at this! :o( It is so nice to put a face with a name! Anyway...when I do post some pic\'s, you will be amazed at what my hands will do off and on, like your foot. They will swell and turn a red color and actually looked bruised...very odd! I was dx with RSD from a injury in 90\'....this weird thing has been happening every since...many Dr\'s have told me this is from damaged nerves....they can be very painful when this happens. I will post some very soon....have you ever had a injury or anything to a leg, foot or hip? Just curious as you may have some RSD going on....our darn ol\' bodies are wired so weirdly....this fibro and other illness\'s kind of go hand in hand. If you ever want to msg me about this...please do....you should google \"Reflex Sympathic Dystrophy\"....I was then dx with the Fibro in 95\'......now they both cause me alittle grief!!!! :o( Sure great to have people who understand and can relate, isn\'t it!!!! :o) Anyway...nice to have you as a friend! You are a beautiful lady w/ a beautiful family! God Bless! Love~Tory
I have extremely swollen feet too Narey. Both of them. I just went to the doctor and he gave me a second water pill to take on top of the other one I was taking. He took off my shoes and socks and pushed on my foot with his finger, he left a one inch dent on my foot! He said to my husband...look at that!! LOL So now I\'m on these super duper water pills. I hope your foot goes down. I hope both of mine do too. Here\'s to skinny feet again! LOL
Blessings and hugs
Cathy
I LOVED your photos Nancy!
You have a lovely family and you look exactly as I imagined you to be. When I saw your photo I said to myself: \"Yup! That\'s Nancy alright!\" :-)
You\'re a sweet and kind person.
Love and hugs
Silvia
Gosh, how NICE, Silvia! Funny that I look as you\'d imagine... hm.
Cathy, LOL, here\'s to skinny feet. I hope your double dose does the trick, but... seems they should be able to do more than that. I dunno. Leaving a big indent like that, yikes! You must be SO uncomfortable. My foot is pretty much back to normal. It gets worse and better quick.
Tory, you\'re too nice! Thank you. And I am familiar with RSD because it was thought my brother had it, when he actually had avascular necrosis in the hip. THEN, I worried that I had that, but a hip Xray says no. Thank God. I do wonder if my nerve was injured in surgery. That might be the answer.. and I guess it COULD be RSD if you\'re saying that swelling can be part of that. sigh It\'s getting time to do the doctors again. yuck
Tory, if you have photos on your hard drive of your computer, it\'s so easy to upload photos. go to the link on the left for your profile, photos, and you just browse forthe ones you want and click \'em to put them up. Hope to see yours soon! :-)
