      I am so excited! Just took the last dex that I have been weaning!  Started Oct 4th or 5th.   I am getting around much  better but have a far way to go, today was a big step!

      My eyes are very slinty from all of the swelling and yesterday I was exercising …. noticed right afterwards that there is now blood in the white area.  Like I said there is still a far way to go. They are starting me today on mild Lasix so I can get some of this swelling down. Pants are so tight on my waist but fall down off of my hips and legs!  That will all solve itself.

      I've worked hard on being able to get to the floor and getting back up. Savannah (2 year old granddaughter) is coming for the weekend. This will be the first time I've actually been able to play with her since before Christmas.  This is a weekend of celebration for us.
