Another medical update.

I stumbled from one thing to another, no pun intended.  The leg swelling that was becoming such an issue has mostly been fixed.  Careful tending of the volume of fluid intake, compression which will be on and off now, and elevating my legs when I sleep, have nearly fixed things.  It's not perfect, but then I don't think it ever was, or will be.  If I keep losing size at least, and gain control of insulin, while lifting this pervasive sense of exhaustion, other things might improve.  Health is a chain event.  When one thing fails, other things tend to fail with that.  Putting things back in order is not simple.  Medicine can't do it.  Medicine isn't made to do it.  It's a lazy way for a doctor to tell you to go, take it easy, then die.

I really can't fix the heart.  That was the first, and most significant, issue.  There may not be a way to fix it.  Live with it?  Of course.  And probably live with it better than ever.  Knowing what the problem is does help.  The other problems call all be ameliorated.  Even the heart can be massaged into a better working order.  Some, maybe even diabetes, especially if the readings were right yesterday, might be nearly fixable.  I doubt if a cure will be in, but with a little extra care, if I can do that... it'll work out to near cure levels.  It can be controlled if never truly fixed, perhaps.  I am not sure what all can be mended.  Weigh loss would help, potentially, everything.  Which, while it looks like I have lost some weight, I actually haven't yet.  Hmm... decided to check... from 280ish as my typical for years, then to 273 fairly recently, now at 257.  Some weight loss.  Just in the last week though?  Weird.  Maybe I wasn't tracking time well.

In any case, the foot (feet) are better.  They aren't swelling much through even the day, and that is completely gone by morning after a good sleep.  The skin on the leg that was swelling a great deal, while not sore, is definitely going to take some time to heal.  It was simply bent out of shape.  Not sure what to do to help it.  One thing at a time.  I am hoping the supposed energy level increase from fasting is real, or for me.  We'll see.  Though with high summer hitting, I'm not sure it matters right at this point.  Unless that seemingly sensed snow arrives!  I'd have to get out and go up for that.  Yeah, probably a pipe dream skewed sensory thing.  Still... just saying.

I best get started.  Later.
