I am now officially one full day over-due. Sunday the 28th came and went with no action. Today, Monday, I got up early (7:30) and had a breakfast date with Jason. What fun! By 9am I had rock-hard, swollen legs. When we got home I went and napped for an hour. The swelling went down during that time, but as soon as I started walking around the house, the water started settling again. I’ve had swollen legs by nightfall for the last three weeks, but just recently they started swelling during the day too. Painful. By noon, my leg joints were aching (another word for “spreading of the hips” I say). I also had cramps. So, I had a bath. Cramps stopped, the joints are better, but my swollen legs seem here to stay. Any of you ladies ever tried to shave your legs with a beachball tied to your middle? Tricky.
So basically, I’ve been sitting on my but all day, being served, hoping the swelling disappears. No-luck-yet.
