Keep that appointment but enjoy the 2 day convention.  You deserve a little
bit of a rest even if (and I won't say it out loud) you haven't decided if
you are feeling better or not (which we know you probably are because we
have all been willing it.

Enjoy the couple of days away from it all Nann.

Just my two cents, and I never made it to medical school, but I like water
treatment for dealing with that sort of swelling.  Long warm baths, or even
a jacuzzi if I can find one.  The warmth and the light pressure from the
water seem to help.

Of course, not until any incision is thoroughly healed.

Hey Nann,
That is good news.  I am still in santa cruz as I got some major cold
after spending ours in the rain chasing my cell phone (which i didn't
get back).  I  am in bed drinking herbs and trying to breath.  I will
call you as soon as i get my new phone (it was insured and they send
them out second day air). so great that you are feeling better.

Crossing fingers and toes for you too!! :-)

actually i think i really am, but i'm still scared to say it out loud.  i
wouldn't say it at all yesterday, until i slipped and told mike last night.  
he already suspectedd as he could see the difference.  anyway, there are
still times when i do something wrong and go through the roof, but it calms
down much faster and it happens much less often.  i am able to stretch more
and am even able to bend over - briefly.  oh, and i got into a regular pair
of trousers tuesday, albeit a loose pair.

haven't decided yet whether to keep my pcp appt. tuesday.  there's still some
swelling, which i'm not supposed to have.  i've been suspecting this might
all have something to do with the lymphatic system not draining stuff as it
should.  tht's womething i really need to discuss with one of my medical
doctors rather than with the surgeon.

keeping my fingers crossed that this improves, esp. as we leave this
afternoon for a two-day convention.

ok, ok, i'm shhhhushing, too, but it's hard for me to do.   is it ok if i whisper it? yaaaaaaay!!!!!! and  {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{happy dance!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

i hope you have a great time at the convention.  you sooo deserve to, sweetie.

I sure hope so Nann,

I know how it is, you feel like you jinx yourself if you say you are doing
better, I know i do. I say I am doing better and someone likes to make a
liar out of me. LOL ;-)

I am glad you were able to bend and put on a pair of trousers.

I hope you get this all figured out and soon so you can get better.

I am keeping my fingers crossed with you. So hurry up and get better because
that hurts me to keep them crossed. :-)

Hope all goes well at the convention.
