Possible trouble for me

Okay, it’s March 16, 2008 and I’m beginning to get worried. I’m afraid my weight is creeping upward again (due to edema) and I’m not happy about that. I’m up to 149, and that’s as high as it has been since mid January. I’m noting some increased pugginess in my abdomen, and I can palpate some more notable pitting edema in my shin bones. I think my weight has been inching upward since Thursday when I went to Jackson for a doctor appointment. I weighed 149.5 on their scale wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, and carrying my billfold and keys. Here at home today my weight of 149 is in shorts only.

Also, I’ve had notably softer stools as of late.

My plan for the near term is to be ever vigilant; taking my medication ‘on time’ every day.
