Ok so I had to take some time off work, I had an ultra sound on my leg...good news, no clots...No reason for swelling...checking kidney functions again...waiting for that test. Well it hurts, AND it is a bit scary! Because the things that are usually the cause are blood clots, congestive heart failure, and diabeties...all not good...today I did the ultrasound and they called me back with good results...

I think I am just going to have to REALLY watch salt...keep exercising...and take those water pills to get rid of it for now...I think it may be my back being out...they say no, but my back has been really out since Feb and this started in March....and my thyroid was whacky...but now "normal range"... so we shall see!

Ok, since I have no blood clot in my leg, I am going to just get serious about reducing any added salt...eating LESS processed foods, since if you don't make it you don't know how much salt is in it...and try to keep it low...Keep up my walking and bike riding...continue to take the water pills to flush it out, and she gave me potasium since I could be flushing it out. And if I can loose enough to relieve the back a bit maybe this swelling will go away!

So for tonight a healthy salad...and the swelling is coming down with the water pill...
