             I know others who like cold pizza for breakfast, but I've never acquired the taste.

    They're much much better.  Peripheral edema apparently runs in my mother's side of the family, and decided to strike me with a vengeance for the first time.  I wound up folding a sleeping bag up and resting my legs on it to elevate them through the night.  Worked like a champ, I did a little dance to see my feet back to normal.

       Glad to hear they're better!  Does knowing that it's hereditary give you a heads-up to be able to prevent it from striking again?

    Yep.  Basically it means that I have to keep active, keep good blood flowing.  It is more a matter of circulatory problems than anything else, but I have a long time to go before I have to worry about it being a serious issue.  Prevention is easier than treatment any day!

       Yes about the prevention.  This knowledge may keep you from ever having serious issues with it.  Thank God it happened while you're young and have plenty of time to deal with it.

          Agreed!  It means losing a little weight, cutting back on some unhealthy eating, and being a little more active more regularly.  Easy habits to adopt when you're younger.

             I work from home - freelance writer - so I can do as I please as long as I make enough money while doing so.  It keeps me from writing hubs sometimes though, as the paying gigs take precedence.

    Right now, I'm printing off training notes and an invoice.  Have to leave either tonight or early tomorrow morning to do a training session tomorrow.  It's a long weekend here this weekend, so I'll visit a couple of my kids and my dad while I'm in the area.  In other words, I probably won't be in here much for the next 2 or 3 days.  I'll have to type like crazy when I return.

    We are supposed to have sun and warmth today here in Seattle, and we are all shocked.  I keep having to remind myself it is mid-May after all!  Still, I can't help but think it will be 90 degrees this weekend, but then snow on Monday.  That is how our Spring has been this year.
