I really love to mow! I need the flippin exercise. I tried to just power through it but it just gets worse the more I go. I do intend to try again, I'm downing water.

2J... I don't know if this is related, but my ankles have been swelling too, the past couple of months. I can feel that my whole lower leg is really full of water. If I press and release it leaves a dent. I can bring them down by wearing tight socks and elevating them.... course, I always feel like if I elevate them it'll just pool in my rear end, and who wants that? ;~D

It's embarrassing to bring up, but there it is.

Am I just in lousy lousy shape or what?

You have pitting edema and you need to go to the doctor for a complete checkup. For some reason you're retaining fluid and it's not just a little like is normal for women.

Go to the doctor, sis. It may just be too much sodium in your diet, but if it's a new onset, over the past few months as you say, you really need to check it out.

Now I'm gonna be all worried till you do, so call and get a checkup. When was your last full physical, anyway?
