Hello everyone! Long time...Just wanted to keep you all posted. My right ankle has been swollen for weeks and I haven't been sure what is up. One night I was laying on the bed and Spencer was with me. I lifted up both of my legs and the difference was so funny we could not quit laughing! I asked my oncologist and he didn't have a clue. I waited to see if it would get better...it didn't. I called my primary doctor. It is Edema caused by the steroids. That stupid Dexamethasone has messed me up so badly in a ton of ways. I now have a new medicine!! WHOOOOO HOOOOO! It is one that makes you pee all of the extra fluid. so maybe I won't look so Fluid filled...LOL. So now I have 9 pills to take in the morning. We are going to stop taking the Dex. as soon as I am done with this bottle. I have to ween myself off a little at a time. I can't just stop...we know what happens when I do that. Not good. Anyway, Spencer and I went and got our tree today and will decorate it tomorrow after it loosens up. Dean and I have decided to have Christmas at our house. Should be fun, thinking paper plates and plastic silverware!! Just kidding. More later or when I have news. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
