Edema = not fun

Last night my feet doubled in size. There were no wrinkles, no ankles, no definition at all. They looked like huge, rubber feet. And while they looked funny, it was not fun. The swelling continued to the bottom of my feet, which made walking or even standing nearly impossible.

It was a sudden transformation. I had been fine all day. In fact, I've been fine all summer which has been a pleasant surprise. Last Saturday, I hadn't been able to put on my wedding band, but by Sunday morning, it fit again. Just in case, I'm now wearing it on a chain. My feet have been puffy, but my shoes still fit so I wasn't too concerned.

So, Saturday night was a big surprise. My feet are slowly getting back to normal, or my new semi-puffy version of normal.
