Yipee!!

I went to the doctor's office today to have my legs checked out and let me tell you that since last Wednesday, at about the same time in the morning, I have lost 6 pounds of fluid!

May I repeat that? I have lost 6 pounds of fluid!!! Since. last. week.
The doc brought other people in just to see the difference a week makes with losing the fluid!
Yea! I'm normal again! I have ankles and bones! I am YOUNG again! :D
No more stockings but still a pretty high dose of lasix for maintenance but it's worth it if I don't have to wear the compression stockings.

Isn't that amazing, Jules? I could hardly believe it. I knew I had lost because I could wear my shoes and my face looked thinner etc but my goodness! PTL!

Except that Lasix is hard on your kidneys especially since you are a diabetic. Why are you on a maintenance dose? If it was related just to the pred and you are off the pred, you shouldn't need it. Your kidneys are fragile AC. Be careful!
