So glad you made it home Ok Poddy.

Thanks for letting us know! (You know a RosMom worries.)

BB, Meant to say that was a powerful poem about Women's Right to Vote! Gosh, I won't take voting for granted anymore, that's for sure!

And your kitty with the two colored eyes is so pretty! So unique! I knew a couple of peeps with two colored eyes too. Always facinating to look at.

Well, I had to go to yet a New Dr today for my leg swelling. (sigh)

This time this Dr. is a Vascular Specialist as the problem just might be my veins collaspsing in my legs causing the blood and fluid to back up, hence the swelling.

My appointment was at 3:30 but they wanted me there 20mins early to fill out paperwork and I was prompt. And the place was PACKED! I was lucky to get the last seat!

Well, I wasn't put into a room until 4:30!!!

Then the Dr. didn't come in until 4:45!

He asked a lot of questions, and the bottom line is... he wants me to have a scan of the veins in my legs, but there is no place around here that does it, so I have to go to Napa (where they make the wine) to get it done. It's only about 25mins away, but I wished they could have done it here in town. Oh well.

Anyway, his nurse is going to set up the appt and call me with the date and time. Then I'll go back to his office in town and get the results.

He said there can be two out-comes... one) that they can help me if it's in this certain area of veins, and two) that they can't help if it's in the deep veins and then it's just doing what I do now and that is with water pills and stockings. So, we'll see.

He seemed really nice... just incredibly busy! I guess he's the only vascular specialist in town, but he also has an office in Napa so he commutes back and forth on certain days.

You know, it will be one year come this July that I've had this weird Swelling in my legs!

Sometimes it feels that long, and other times it feels longer!

Curious what the Up Front have to say. I wonder if HEROES are coming back too? I hope so!

And I hope Moonlight stays on aswell!

Hugs to All,

Wen
