Tremfiya has taken care of the psoriasis...there are just freckles of it here and there, so I read up on curing edema, which there is none, but compression socks help. I don't need them on my feed (and hopefully I never will), but I wanted to try them on my left ankle. They come in pairs, but I only need it for one side right now.
I tell you what...as soon as I put it on, I felt like my ankle was healing. the circulation has been so bad and there is so much fluid, that it actually throbs when I hike every day (I really really want to run, but have been told by the hernia surgeon, YOU MUST STOP). I definitely don't want to give up walking every day. I need to move. It's the only mental reprieve I give myself each day (everything else is so cerebral).
So, I'm on day two of the compression anklet and I love it. It feels like it is holding me together (and yes, this could pass). I just don't know why the left side has chosen to be a repository for fluids...but it has. And I am trying to live with it, so the socks are a thing now.
Ah, but on another note, I finished grading. Phew. Just have one outstanding project that hasn't been turned in and I'm sure it will get here eventually....full-time teacher who has a lot on his plate. I get it. The profession is impossible and when you're doing the profession and taking classes, it can be outright miserable. So, Mr. Flexible I become. At least it is only one student this year.
Here we go, Monday...but it's starting to wind down....FINALLY.
