I'm fighting back..

Trouble is I'm not sure what I'm fighting against... I've been playing detective, trying to determine the cause of my swelling feet. Right at this point I'm almost starting to believe it's just nothing more than inactivity... that could do it. Yesterday riding so far ( five hours total in the car) and sitting on a chair for several hours was just too much sitting... is it any wonder my ankles swelled up? Anyway today they just continued swelling and as the day wore on they got bigger and bigger. I did end up riding my exercise bike half a mile and then tonight we went for a fairly long walk. I almost went farther than I should have but I made it.. put the strap under my knee cap so it wouldn't slip and I did ok. It was still a bit too warm for me to walk but I did ok. Hopefully the swelling will be down tomorrow. I'm afraid now though to take pain pills cause I'm almost believing they might be part of the problem... what a lot of fun it is to get old. Ok that's my news for today.. Stay tuned for continuing episodes. J
