[Nichole Rohling]

HI EVERYONE   I GOT MY PROFORE WRAPS OFF MY LEGS WEDNESDAY.  MY FEET WERE SWOLLEN BUT MY LEGS WERE MUCH BETTER OTHER THAN RED AND BLUISH/PURPLE SPLOTCHES ON THEM.  YESTERDAY MY FEET WERE SWOLLEN SO MUCH AFTER BEING UP 3.5 HOURS I HAD TO TAKE THEM OUT OF MY SANDALS.  P/T IS SUPPOSE TO COME TOMORROW AND MEASURE MY LEGS FOR COMPRESSION HOSE WHICH HAVE TO BE ORDERED.   THEY LOOKED GOOD THIS MORNING BUT AFTER BEING UP 30 MINUTES FLUID BEGAN LEAKING OUT OF MY LOWER LEGS.  NOW AFTER BEING UP 11.5 HRS MY FEET AND LEGS ARE AS BIG AS THEY WERE 2.5 WEEKS AGO.    I'M TO THE POINT OF TEARS.  I'VE INCREASED PROTEIN, STARTED A MULTI-VITAMIN, 2 VIT C'S A DAY, RECLINE IN MY CHAIR.  I'VE BEEN HEALTHY AS A HORSE FOR THE 6 YEARS SINCE MY INJURY.   HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS EDEMA WITH LEAKING FLUID?  IF SO PLEASE RESPOND AND LET ME KNOW  WHAT YOUR DIAGNOSIS WAS AND IF THERE WAS FIX FOR IT.   THANKS NICKI
